1827-1838
John James Audubon brings a touch of drama to this scientific illustration of the Northern Saw-whet Owl, labeled here as the Little Owl. Instead of a stiff profile, he captures a female owl mid-action, wings flared and talons gripping a freshly caught mouse on a rocky outcrop, while a male perches calmly above. This plate comes from his monumental 'The Birds of America,' a massive project where he traveled the wilderness to document birds, often posing freshly killed specimens to achieve these dynamic, lifelike scenes that revolutionized natural history illustration.
