Plate CLXII from Audubon's The Birds of America (London, 1827-38). "Painting and plate depict two birds in a Pond-apple Tree. Painted in the Florida Keys in 1832. In Audubon's day this species bred in the Florida Keys; today it is accidental in south Florida. The bird was named for Princess Zenaide, wife of the eminent ornithologist, Prince Charles Lucien Bonaparte." (Susanne M. Low, A Guide to Audubon's Birds of America, p. 108)

A handsome example.
