Behind every plate in Audubon's Birds of America lies a story, and here he tells them. The first volume brings the wild turkey, the yellow-billed cuckoo, the purple finch and more to vivid life, each entry braided with scenes of the American frontier. Natural history as high adventure. Walk the woods with the greatest of all bird painters.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
