Audubon's Solitary Vireo Flycatcher Birds on Cane Mini Clipboard

This beautiful vintage reproduction of John James Audubon’s Plate 28 from Birds of America captures a charming pair of Solitary Flycatchers, also known as the Blue-Headed Vireo or Vireo Solitarius, perched gracefully on a cane plant. These small songbirds, about the size of a sparrow, are dressed in a soft blend of blue, grey, green, white, and yellow plumage, adding a lively touch of colour to the scene. Despite being called “solitary,” these vireos are often heard singing together in a series of sweet, slurred phrases that sound almost musical. During nesting season, the male is especially vocal, singing all day long to defend his territory. In courtship, he fluffs up his feathers and bobs up and down while serenading his mate—a charming display of affection. Audubon’s attention to detail brings these delightful birds to life, making this print a perfect addition for bird lovers, art enthusiasts, or anyone captivated by the beauty and behaviours of nature.
