Description
Purple Heron or Reddish Egret, Plate 256
. John James Audubon (1785-1851). London: Havell, 1827-1838. 25 x 37 1/2 inches sheet, 37 1/4 x 49 1/2 inches frame. “The Flight of this Heron is more elevated and regular than that of the smaller species. During the love season, it is peculiarly graceful and elegant, especially when one unmated male is pursuing another, a female being in sight. They pass through the air with celerity, turn and cut about in curious curves and zigzags, the stronger bird frequently erecting its beautiful crest, and uttering its note, at the moment when it expects to give its rival a thrust.” - Audubon’s Ornithological Biography
