This Wooden Puzzle shows a Snowy Heron or White Egret from the Birds of America Series by John James Audubon.

It was painted near Charleston, South Carolina, in 1882 and is one of the few Audubon images actually to show the artist. He painted himself into the background of the image.

The beautiful Snowy Heron is a constant resident of the Southern states, particularly Florida and Louisiana, where thousands are seen during the winter and remain during the breeding season.

John James Audubon

John James Audubon was a Franco-American naturalist, painter, and ornithologist born in 1785 in what is now Haiti. He is best known for his monumental work The Birds of America, a collection of life-sized, hand-colored illustrations of North American bird species. Audubon's dedication to his work was unwavering. As a young man, he immigrated to the United States and quickly developed a deep fascination with the natural world. Combining his keen observational skills with an exceptional talent for drawing, he set out to document the rich avian diversity of the continent at a level of detail and artistic beauty that had never been seen before.

Audubon's method was both scientific and artistic. He would travel through remote wilderness areas, studying birds in their natural habitats and often collecting specimens to ensure anatomical accuracy. His dynamic compositions brought his subjects to life, showing birds in characteristic poses and settings rather than the static depictions typical of earlier naturalist works. To fund the publication of The Birds of America, he traveled to England and Scotland, where he found great success and admiration, a testament to the international recognition of his talent and dedication. This led to the eventual release of his work between 1827 and 1838 in a series of lavish volumes.

Beyond ornithology, Audubon made significant contributions to the documentation of American wildlife and natural landscapes. His later work, The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America, focused on mammals and continued his legacy of combining science with art. Audubon died in 1851, but his influence has endured. The Audubon Society, named in his honor, remains one of the most prominent conservation organizations in the United States. Through his passionate dedication and pioneering vision, John James Audubon transformed how people viewed nature and inspired a new generation of naturalists and artists.
