Bird Head Drawings, Box 21

About the Project

How can a hand-drawn image capture the tiny details of a belted kingfisher's feathering? An illustrator's steady hand and eye for detail are essential. And so are systematic standards for colors and color nomenclature. These are drawings from ornithologist Robert Ridgway's personal papers. His color studies and systematic approach for naming species and coloring has influenced zoology in North America and internationally.
