"Summer or Wood Duck (plate 206)" is a renowned illustration by John James Audubon, an eminent 19th-century American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter. This artwork is part of Audubon's magnum opus, "The Birds of America," a monumental collection of life-sized watercolors of North American birds. Published between 1827 and 1838, "The Birds of America" is celebrated for its artistic beauty and scientific accuracy, and it remains one of the most significant ornithological works ever produced.

Plate 206, depicting the Wood Duck (Aix sponsa), captures the bird in its natural habitat with remarkable detail and vibrant coloration. The Wood Duck, known for its striking plumage and distinctive markings, is one of the most colorful waterfowl species in North America. Audubon's illustration showcases the male Wood Duck's iridescent green and purple head, red eyes, and ornate patterns, alongside the more subdued but equally intricate plumage of the female.

Audubon's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the birds' feathers, the texture of their environment, and the dynamic poses that convey a sense of movement and vitality. The background of the illustration features a lush, verdant setting typical of the Wood Duck's preferred habitats, such as wooded swamps, marshes, and streams. This contextualization not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the plate but also provides viewers with insight into the ecological niche of the species.

"Summer or Wood Duck (plate 206)" exemplifies Audubon's unique blend of artistic skill and scientific observation. His ability to capture the essence of avian life with such precision and beauty has left a lasting legacy in both the art and science communities. Today, Audubon's work continues to inspire ornithologists, artists, and nature enthusiasts, underscoring the enduring importance of his contributions to the understanding and appreciation of North American birdlife.
