<B>John James Audubon </B></I>(American 1785-1851)<B><BR></B></I><I>Field Sparrow </B></I>(Plate CXXXIX)<BR>Hand colored lithograph<BR>32 x 25.5 inches (81.28 x 64.77 cm)<BR><BR>Based on a painting dated July 11, 1829, the day on which the artist left Great Egg harbor, New Jersey. Audubon wrote of it: "Traveling from Egg Harbor towards Philadelphia, I found a nest of this species placed at the foot of a bush growing in almost pure sand. Near it were the plants which you see accompanying the figure." A pink bill and plain breast are the characteristic field marks of this bird, and the term "field" is a bit misleading as it is rarely seen in cultivated fields, but rather in woodland borders or old pasture lots growing up with weeds and bushes. It is a persistent singer and from a singing perch, usually atop a bush or small tree, it sends forth its clear, sweet and melancholy botes. 4/98 reframed by vineyard .<BR><BR><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Requires 3rd Party Shipping (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
