Ivory-billed Woodpecker

Audubon: Die Vögel Amerikas I, 1829

The artwork is a vertical, detailed illustration featuring three ivory-billed woodpeckers interacting with a tree. The birds are positioned prominently, each perched on different sections of the lichen-covered branches. The bird on the left has a red crest, black and white plumage, and is oriented towards the right. The woodpecker in the center has its head lowered, showing black feathers with white markings. The third bird on the right has a dark blue-black body with white accents and is depicted in a climbing posture. The tree branches have detailed bark and lichen. The background is plain, emphasizing the details of the birds and tree.
