"Ivory-billed Woodpecker (plate LXVI)" is a renowned illustration by John James Audubon, featured in his seminal work, "The Birds of America." Published between 1827 and 1838, "The Birds of America" is a monumental collection of life-sized watercolors of North American birds, and it is widely considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed. Audubon, a Franco-American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter, dedicated much of his life to documenting and illustrating the avian species of the United States, and his work has had a lasting impact on both art and science.

The illustration of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, designated as plate LXVI, captures the striking appearance of this elusive and critically endangered bird. The Ivory-billed Woodpecker, known scientifically as Campephilus principalis, is distinguished by its large size, striking black and white plumage, and prominent ivory-colored bill. Audubon's depiction is notable for its attention to detail and lifelike representation, showcasing the bird in its natural habitat, amidst the dense forests of the southeastern United States.

Audubon's artistic technique involved meticulous observation and field sketches, which he later transformed into detailed watercolors. His work on the Ivory-billed Woodpecker is no exception, reflecting his deep appreciation for the bird's beauty and his commitment to scientific accuracy. The illustration not only serves as a valuable scientific record but also as a work of art that has captivated audiences for generations.

The Ivory-billed Woodpecker has long been a subject of fascination and mystery, with its population declining dramatically due to habitat destruction and other environmental pressures. Audubon's illustration remains one of the most iconic images of this rare species, symbolizing both the splendor of North America's avian diversity and the ongoing challenges of wildlife conservation. Through "The Birds of America," and particularly through plate LXVI, Audubon has left an indelible mark on the fields of ornithology and natural history, inspiring future generations to appreciate and protect the natural world.
