Audubon Cedar Waxwing Bird on Evergreen Juniper Poker Cards

This vintage reproduction features a pair of Cedar Waxwings perched elegantly on a Juniper branch, showcasing the stunning artistry of John James Audubon. As Plate 43 of Audubon's Birds of America series, this timeless piece captures the graceful charm of one of North America's most social birds. Known for their striking gradient plumage, Cedar Waxwings display an exquisite blend of colors: a black mask, warm brown head and chest, soft gray wings, flashes of red on their wingtips, and the iconic bright yellow band on their tail tips. These birds are not only admired for their beauty but also for their fascinating behaviors. Audubon himself noted their voracious appetite, observing that their love of fruit and berries often led them to gorge themselves so much that they could scarcely fly. Cedar Waxwings live and breed in the northern United States and Canada, migrating southward to the southern United States, Mexico, and Central America during the winter. They are commonly seen throughout the southern United States, especially in Florida, where they add a touch of vibrant color to winter landscapes. Perfect for bird lovers and nature enthusiasts, this artwork is a celebration of the elegance, sociability, and vibrancy of these beloved birds. Whether you're a collector or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of wildlife, this piece makes a meaningful addition to any space.
