"Night Heron, Plate 363" is one of the exquisite illustrations created by John James Audubon, a renowned American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter. This particular work is part of Audubon's monumental series, "The Birds of America," which is celebrated for its detailed and lifelike depictions of a vast array of bird species found in the United States. Published between 1827 and 1838, "The Birds of America" is considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed, both for its artistic merit and scientific accuracy.

"Night Heron, Plate 363" features the Black-crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax), a medium-sized heron known for its distinctive black crown and back, contrasting with its grey wings and white underparts. Audubon’s illustration captures the bird in a naturalistic setting, showcasing its typical behavior and habitat. The heron is depicted with meticulous attention to detail, highlighting its plumage, posture, and the surrounding flora, which provides context and enhances the realism of the scene.

Audubon’s technique involved observing birds in their natural habitats and often collecting specimens to study their anatomy closely. He then painted them in life-size, using watercolors and pastels, which were later engraved and hand-colored by skilled artisans. This process ensured that each plate in "The Birds of America" was both scientifically accurate and artistically compelling.

"Night Heron, Plate 363" exemplifies Audubon's dedication to capturing the essence of bird species with precision and artistry. His work not only contributed significantly to ornithology but also left a lasting legacy in the art world, influencing generations of wildlife artists and naturalists. Today, Audubon's illustrations, including "Night Heron, Plate 363," are highly valued by collectors and continue to be studied and admired for their beauty and scientific importance.
