Do you know who Aududon is?
Audubon was a French-American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter
April 26th is designated as National Audubon Day. This day is set aside to honor the birth of John James Aududon (April 26, 1785 – January 27, 1851).
Audubon was a French-American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter, noted for his extensive studies of American birds and his detailed illustrations of the birds in their natural habitats. Audubon’s greatest work was “The Birds of America” which is considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed. His work in this book contains more than 700 North American bird species with 435 hand-colored, life-size prints of 497 bird species.
