Including the red-winged blackbird, painted bunting, wood duck, great blue heron, ruby-throated hummingbird, purple finch, and blue jay, 46 different species of birds from all parts of the United States are included in this book. The pictures have been faithfully redrawn by Paul E. Kennedy from originals by John James Aububon (1785–1851), the most famous American painter-naturalist.
For each species, the caption supplies the modern common and scientific names and the current range (by general region). No distinction is made between breeding range and winter range. Only the area of the United States, exclusive of Alaska and Hawaii, is considered. The birds shown are usually adult males when the caption does not give the information on age and sex.
Audubon's original plates, numbered to correspond to the pages of the book, have been reproduced in color on the covers. If you follow them, you will not only have a great deal of coloring pleasure, but you will also learn how to identify many important birds.

Twelve Audubon Book Marks

The great American wildlife artist Audubon created images of North American birds that have seldom been surpassed in beauty and aesthetic quality.

Treasury of Audubon Birds

The first edition of this historic volume, completed in 1838, presented 435 large hand-colored engravings depicting more than 1,000 birds of 489 species. In the following decade, Audubon issued the much more affordable yet highly collectible octavo edition, with smaller, lithograph illustrations.

About the Author

America's greatest ornithological artist John James Audubon (1785–1851) came from his native Haiti to America in 1803. After an unsuccessful attempt at farming, Audubon turned his attention to collecting specimens of birds and portraying them in his inimitable paintings. After many years, he obtained financing in England for publication of the massive folio edition of The Birds of America, which established him as a major artist. Back in the United States, Audubon followed up the first edition of The Birds of America with his Ornithological Biography, a readable multi-volume companion to the massive plates, discussing the birds and his experiences studying them; the smaller, octavo edition of The Birds of America; and a similar publication on American animals, The Viviporous Quadrupeds of North America.

Birds of America to Color
Audubon's Birds of America has 46 pages to color and colored pictures to use as guides. All the information that is included with the birds is wonderful to see. There are so many people including young ones that want to learn all they can about birds and this is a great book to get. Depending on the age of the person you may gift it to, you may want to color them first. After all, we want to share the enjoyment don't we? This book will continue giving for years to come so I can't stress it enough about making sure to have something under your picture if it isn't removable so you won't leave imprints on the picture under it or color markings from the one already done. You don't want anything to mess up your hard work on these wonderful pictures in any of these books.

    I bought this book for a friend who loves birds and I looked through it before giving it to her, enjoying each and every page! Dover has been publishing these kinds of books for many years, on a large number of topics, long before the recent adult coloring book revolution, and I bet you can find some on your bookshelf that you bought years ago! The prices for these are very reasonable, too, often $3.99 or less, and this one is just $3.35 with free 2-day shipping if you have Amazon prime! The only drawback for these books is that they are printed back-to-back so if you use markers they bleed through and ruin the picture on the other side. However the detailed drawings really call for colored pencils where you can do shading, and this book is perfect for that! Or, you can copy the page you want to color on good quality copy paper of the weight you prefer (I like the Hammerhill color copy cover paper, 60 lb. weight, which is like a very light cardboard like you would use as a cover to a report). This is a wonderful book for anyone who likes birds and I highly recommend it!

    I got many of these books in different themes and love coloring them. You can get really creative. I don't have an artist's talent, so I enjoy creating my own color combinations, although there are colored pictures of all of them on the covers so you can follow those or come up with your own. These aren't not kids coloring books! They are more detailed, and I use colored pencils on some, fine point gel pens on others and a wide range of felt tip colors on most. I usually do these in the evening when I need to wind down and they work wonders for me. Even without artistic talent, I love my renderings and plan on keeping the completed books to look at a few years from now or give some of them to an elderly friend who loves them when I finish coloring them. Great idea for adults or kids who have advanced coloring skills.

    Paul E. Kennedy's renderings of 36 of John James Audubon's birds into "Audubon's Birds of America Coloring Book" make art accessible to anyone with a few bucks.

    The colorer has two approaches to a finished product: (1) go wild, use the imagination, use colors of your choice, or (2) try to recreate Audubon's colors.

    The pages are nicely done, including enough detail for advanced colorers, and certainly large enough (11 x 8) to have fun displaying the completed artwork. The quality of the paper certainly surpasses that of most common coloring books.

    Among the included birds are these: American Flamingo, Purple Finch, Screech Owl, Brown pelican (my state bird), Robin, White-throated Sparrow, Brown Thrasher, and, of course, the Wild Turkey.

    In case the colorer does not have an actual Audubon book for a guide, Kennedy includes three pages of small illustrations from Audubon's book.

    One could spend a pleasant hour doing something else, but an hour with Audubon, an array of coloring tools before you, Haydn's "Piano Concerto No 2" with Maurizio Pollini on the CD player, and a cup of coffee in reach--now there's an hour of bliss!

    This Coloring Book has great sketches of Birds,
    Very Authentic & yet it’s designed poorly. One
    has to take it apart to make it usable! That’s why it’s cheap. I would order again, with the knowledge of it’s problems. You basically have to dismantle book & use a clipboard to make it worth the trouble. The detail in the works take longer to do but next to coloring flowers, birds
    are satisfying & a challenge‼️

    Disappointing. A number of the illustrations only fit part of the page. The illustrations are too detailed for my taste. The illustrations are beautiful otherwise.I think I'm going to keep the book,but not use it for coloring. I did find one of the illustrations to be very disturbing,It's an illustration
    of a snake which is about to pounce on a bird in the nest. Please keep this in mind if you are thinking of purchasing this for a child.As an adult,I found this illustration upsetting, If I were giving this to a child,I'd remove that page. It could give a child nightmares.
