Plate XXXVII from Audubon's The Birds of America (London, 1827-38). "Painting and plate depict five birds in a chopped-off dead tree trunk: two quarreling females at top, a male partially hidden behind the tree trunk, a second male peering out from behind the trunk, and a third male perched on a branch sticking out. Audubon painted the two females in Louisiana about 1821." (Susanne M. Low, A Guide to Audubon's Birds of America, p. 50)

A handsome and bright example.
