Book excerpt: Excerpt from Audubon's Birds and Quadrupeds of America: List of Plates Now Offered for Sale Separately Of this celebrated Duck, far famed as food for epicures, Audubon presents in this magnificent plate three fine specimens, two males and a female. One of the males is gracefully sailing along on the water, with head erect and as'if fully conscious of the beautiful spectacle which he presents; while the other, standing upon the shore, with outstretched neck and open bill, is preparing to snatch at some object on the sur face of the water which has attracted his eye. The female is represented standing upon a rock on the edge of the water. In the background is a view of the city of Baltimore. All three of the birds are drawn life size and colored from nature, and in their easy and graceful positions form a truly magnificent spectacle.
