Found throughout the Caribbean and coastal regions of Florida, this bird thrives in marshes and along the seashores, making its presence known with its bold personality and vibrant call. Audubon’s detailed artwork captures the elegance of this unique bird and its harmonious relationship with the flowering hummingbird tree, creating a timeless piece for bird lovers, art enthusiasts, and admirers of nature’s beauty.
