Description

This hand-colored engraving by John James Audubon depicts a Manx Shearwater in profile, skimming low over choppy ocean waters with rocky sea stacks rising in the misty background. The bird displays its characteristic dark upperparts and white underparts, with distinctive green-yellow feet rendered in Audubon's signature naturalistic detail. Originally published in Audubon's monumental 'Birds of America' (1827–1838), this plate captures the seabird in its open-ocean habitat — the Manx Shearwater is famed for its remarkable transoceanic migrations between the North Atlantic and South America.
