The Fieldfare of Carolina (Turdus migratorius)

Mark Catesby, published 1731–1743

The image shows a bird with a red breast and brown wing laying upside-down on a tree stump. There are vibrant green leaves and vine-like plants surrounding the bird. The color palette consists mainly of bright red and rich browns for the bird, complemented by the deep green of the foliage and a neutral tan background. The bird's head is toward the left side of the image with its body and tail extending to the right, while the leaves of the plant are positioned above and around the bird's body.
