Bonaparte Flycatcher Canada Warbler Audubon Bird Mini Clipboard

This vintage reproduction of John James Audubon’s Plate 5 from Birds of America features the Bonaparte Flycatcher, now known as the Canada Warbler, perched gracefully on a magnolia tree branch adorned with a striking red seed pod. Set against a serene painted sky-blue background, Audubon’s artwork perfectly highlights the bird’s vibrant plumage. Named not after Napoleon Bonaparte, but after the naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte, this beautiful bird is easily recognised by its distinctive “necklace” of dark feathers against its bright yellow chest. Blue-grey above and vivid yellow below, the Canada Warbler is a songbird of the eastern United States, southern Canada, and northern United States during its breeding season. In the colder months, it migrates south to the tropical forests of South America. Protected in Canada under the Migratory Birds Convention Act, the Canada Warbler is celebrated for its rapid warble and high-pitched whistle, adding a lively melody to its forest habitats. This print is a timeless tribute to one of nature’s most striking and musical migratory birds, making it a perfect gift for bird enthusiasts, art lovers, and collectors of classic Audubon illustrations.
