Prairie Warbler Audubon Yellow Bird Clipboard

This reproduction of John James Audubon’s Plate 14 from his Birds of America series captures a charming scene of prairie warblers perched among yellowing buffalo grass. Audubon’s detailed brushwork brings to life the delicate features of this male and female pair, their yellow feathers blending beautifully into the earthy grass. A tiny red ladybug near the top left adds a whimsical touch, hinting at the intricate ecosystem they inhabit. Prairie warblers, with their distinctive yellow and olive plumage and subtle streaking, are small but spirited songbirds known for their gentle, buzzing trills that rise and fall like a gentle breeze over open fields. Prairie warblers make their homes in fields, scrublands, and prairies across the southeastern United States, where they prefer open, sunny habitats over densely wooded areas. And, in Florida permanent residents can be found among the coastal marshes. The pair depicted here seem at ease, hidden among the tall grass as they forage—a perfect portrayal of their elusive nature. This print is ideal for nature lovers, art collectors, and those who appreciate Audubon’s timeless dedication to preserving America’s wildlife. This piece invites viewers to explore a quiet moment in the prairies, capturing the beauty of the birds and their surroundings with both artistry and detail.
