Black-Backed Three-Toed Woodpecker

Audubon: Die Vögel Amerikas II, 1831/1833

This is a painting of three birds perched on a vertically positioned tree branch, with some small green and yellow leaves scattered around. The three birds display black-and-white plumage with yellow patches on their heads, and they have sharp black beaks. They perch on different areas of the branch, looking in different directions. The background consists of a dark brown landscape far below that fades into blue hills in the distance. Above the scene is a mostly gray sky with one patch of light blue in the upper right corner.
