Plate 72 Swallow-tailed Hawk (Kite) from The Birds of America folio (1827–1839) by John James Audubon - Very high resolution and quality edited image
Original name form Audubon is listed in caption. Current modern common and Latin names are also listed either in the caption or the tags. This image was scanned at very high resolution directly from the original book, The Birds of America by naturalist and painter John James Audubon (published in sections between 1827 and 1838 as a series). It has then been edited, cropped, sharpened and enhanced as needed for large scale format and use. These here are among the largest and highest quality in size, clarity and resolution you will find on the internet. The 435 hand colored watercolors from the original portfolio, reproduced from hand-engraved life sized plates, are all available here on Alamy at :
