Hermit Thrush Audubon Bird with Red Berries Playing Cards

This vintage reproduction of John James Audubon’s Plate 58 from Birds of America showcases a pair of Hermit Thrushes perched on a tree branch adorned with vibrant red berries. As these small birds forage for insects, a moth and a caterpillar are depicted as their likely next meal. Distinguished by their red-brown tails, which contrast beautifully with their tan-brown bodies, Hermit Thrushes are a common sight in the forests of North America, particularly in Louisiana and Mississippi. Known for their flute-like call, Hermit Thrushes produce a series of musical phrases that rise in pitch, creating one of the most enchanting bird songs in the woods. Audubon’s detailed depiction captures the quiet beauty and elegance of these rust-and-brown songbirds, making this print an ideal piece for bird enthusiasts, art lovers, and those who appreciate the serene charm of nature.
