American Crossbill

Audubon: Die Vögel Amerikas II, 1834

Several birds are perched on and hanging from leafy branches. The color palette features mixes of greens, browns, reds, and greys, with vibrant green foliage. In the upper part of the image, two birds sit closely near the branches. Below them, other birds with varying patterns of grey, brown, and white plumage are positioned at different angles, some hanging upside down, around the middle of the composition. On the lower right, a bird with reddish tones stands out against lighter leaves.
