Description

Today, the Columbia Jay is known as the Black Throated Magpie Jay.

According to John James Audubon, this illustration was drawn from a specimen from the Columbia River. This is a bit of an oddity, since this species is native to the west coast of mainland Mexico. It is quite possible that this species showed up in the U.S. as an anomaly, and is an example of one of the few non-native species to show up in “Birds of America”.

This Princeton Edition was printed on heavy, acid free, museum quality paper using specially designed archival inks. It is a fine art edition strictly limited to 1500 prints. All Princetons are hand numbered and bear an embossed seal in the lower margin of the print.
