Or who painted American birds before Audubon? Wilson’s impact on early American ornithology is striking; he preceded and influenced Audubon almost a decade before John James landed in Pennsylvania and paved the way for the famed artist. A fascinating portrait an individual who named many of the species we know today and who’s lasting impact on American birds continues to this day.
