"Audubon’s Aviary: Parts Unknown (Part II of The Complete Flock)"

Bone up on your birding knowledge just in time for spring with this installation of John James Audubon’s watercolors, the second in a three-part series. Travel with the famous ornithologist through the early 19th century, when mapping new species of birds also meant mapping out the American wilderness. Each meticulously documented fowl is accompanied by a recording of its call or song from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.—Lisa Rifkind
