After an unsuccessful attempt at farming, Audubon turned his attention to collecting specimens of birds and portraying them in his inimitable paintings. After many years, he obtained financing in England for publication of the massive folio edition of \n\u003ci\u003eThe Birds of America, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich established him as a major artist. Back in the United States, Audubon followed up the first edition of \n\u003ci\u003eThe Birds of America\u003c\/i\u003e with his \n\u003ci\u003eOrnithological Biography, \u003c\/i\u003ea readable multi-volume companion to the massive plates, discussing the birds and his experiences studying them; the smaller, octavo edition of \n\u003ci\u003eThe Birds of America; \u003c\/i\u003eand a similar publication on American animals, \n\u003ci\u003e The Viviporous Quadrupeds of North America.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJacket Description\/Back\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluding the red-winged blackbird, painted bunting, wood duck, great blue heron, ruby-throated hummingbird, purple finch, and blue jay, 46 different species of birds from all parts of the United States are included in this book.
