Audubon's Maryland Yellowthroat Birds with Flowers Round Clock

This vintage reproduction of John James Audubon’s Plate 23 from Birds of America beautifully depicts a pair of vibrant Maryland Yellowthroats perched gracefully on a flowering wild olive tree. These striking birds, with their bright yellow plumage, distinctive black face mask, and side stripes, are a familiar sight in the southern woodlands of the United States. Known for their clear, ringing song, the Maryland Yellowthroat’s call is easily recognisable—a series of descending notes that speed up in rhythm, creating a unique melody. Returning early each spring, these songbirds favour pine-covered forests and cypress-filled swamps. During winter, they can be spotted in Florida, high in the crowns of palms. Remarkably, Maryland Yellowthroats migrate at night, adding a touch of mystery to their journeys. Audubon’s attention to detail captures their beauty and lively charm, making this print a wonderful addition for bird enthusiasts, art lovers, and nature-inspired decor.
