Audubon White Eyed Vireo Song Bird Art Throw Blanket

This charming male White-Eyed Flycatcher, also known as the White-Eyed Vireo, is captured perched gracefully on a Chinaberry tree branch, also called White Cedar. His sharp gaze is fixed on a tiny insect just below, creating a dynamic and engaging scene. The little bug adds a touch of whimsy, making this vintage artwork a delightful conversation piece for bird and nature lovers alike. This songbird, featured in Plate 63 of John James Audubon's Birds of America series, is recognized by its distinctive yellow "spectacles" encircling its striking white eyes. The Chinaberry tree, often referred to as the "Bead Tree," earned its nickname from its seeds, which can be strung into necklaces or rosaries, adding historical charm to this composition. Commonly found in Louisiana as early as March, the White-Eyed Vireo is also known in Bermuda as the "chick-of-the-village," a name inspired by its lively song. With its understated beauty and vintage appeal, this artwork is a timeless celebration of nature's wonders and an ideal addition to any collection.
