Outdoor cats kill over 2 BILLION birds every year! Here's some illustrations I did for National Audubon Society of a few catios on the market. A great way to keep cats happy, and birds alive!

It was on this day (21 February) in 1918 that the last known Carolina Parakeet, Incas, died at the Cincinnati Zoo – in the same cage the last known Passenger Pigeon, Martha, had died only four years earlier.

Audubon’s illustration of the species in original edition of The Birds of America is perhaps one of his finest works (and definitely my personal favorite!), capturing the boisterous beauty of these colorful and highly social birds as they feast on cocklebur seeds. There is even a juvenile in the mix, its head still green:

"Carolina Parrot" (Conuropsis carolinensis carolinensis subspecies), Plate XXVI in the original edition of The Birds of America (1827-38), engraving by Robert Havell, Jr. after John James Audubon’s original 1825 watercolor painting, hand-colored engraving and aquatint on wove paper. [Wikimedia Commons]

Unfortunately, the plate made for the smaller second edition is much inferior to the original, thinning out both the flock and foliage:

“Carolina Parrot or Parrakeet” (Conuropsis carolinensis carolinensis subspecies), Plate 278 in the first Royal Octavo edition of The Birds of America (1840-4), engraving by J. T. Bowen after J. J. Audubon, hand-colored stone lithograph. [Wikimedia Commons]

Those green-bodied Carolina Parakeets in Audubon’s published plates are the nominate subspecies, Conuropsis carolinensis carolinensis. He also made an unpublished watercolor of the other subspecies, Conuropsis carolinensis ludovicianus, which tended to have a more bluish body and paler yellow head plumage:

The Carolina Parakeet (aka Carolina Parrot or Carolina Conure) was the northernmost ranging parrot and the only one native to the eastern United States. Audubon warned of their rapidly declining numbers during the early 1800s, describing witnessing large numbers of Carolina Parakeets being killed by landowners angered by their crop raids. The last confirmed wild sightings were in 1910, with unconfirmed sightings persisting into the 1940s; Incas was the last captive bird, and with his passing in 1918 and no further verified living specimens thereafter, the species was officially declared extinct in 1939.

Bird Window February 2023, acrylic on panels, window frame, 34.5″ x 56″ 

A piece depicting North America’s disappearing avifauna. Details depict:

Ivory-Billed Woodpecker, Passenger Pigeon, California Condor

Carolina Parakeet

Azure-Mantled Warbler, Eskimo Curlew, Piping Plover, Golden-Cheeked Warbler, Whooping Crane, Heath Hen

The Azure-Mantled Warbler is a hypothetical species representing those which disappeared prior to recorded history, but which were seen by ancient people and named in languages that are also extinct. 

The piece also depicts several of J. J. Audubon’s mystery birds, most of which have never been recorded since Audubon.

I will be giving a FREE introductory-level virtual wasp presentation on JAN 16 2023 at 8:00 PM EST for the Washington Crossing Audubon Society. All are welcome to attend!

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

Note: This is different from the WaspID course, which is an in-depth exploration of Hymenopteran taxonomy, has an admission fee, and has already closed registration. Rest assured I will be giving a lecture for that too!

OK but like, I think their gimmick is cute

This is based off of John James Audubon's 'Carolina Parakeets' illustration and I simply couldn't *not* do a pokemon rendition

A VERY easy way for individuals to contribute to the fight for climate justice is by signing this petition by Audubon. It takes less than a minute of your time and contacts your state representatives (in the US) to urge them to pass the Inflation Reduction Act.
