"Whip-poor-will (plate LXXXII) Caprimulgus vociferus" is a notable illustration by the renowned American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter John James Audubon. It is part of his seminal work, "The Birds of America," which was published as a series of life-sized prints between 1827 and 1838. The plate depicts the whip-poor-will, a bird species native to North America, known scientifically as Caprimulgus vociferus.

Audubon's illustration captures the whip-poor-will in a naturalistic setting, showcasing the bird's cryptic plumage and distinctive features that enable it to blend seamlessly into its woodland habitat. The bird is often recognized for its repetitive and haunting nocturnal call, from which its name is derived. Audubon's attention to detail and commitment to portraying birds in their natural environment is evident in this plate, as it is throughout "The Birds of America."

The whip-poor-will is rendered with the precision and artistic flair characteristic of Audubon's work, which has been celebrated for its combination of scientific accuracy and aesthetic beauty. "The Birds of America" is considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed and contributed significantly to the study and appreciation of birds in North America. Plate LXXXII, along with the rest of the collection, played a crucial role in the development of American ornithology and continues to be admired by both scientists and art enthusiasts alike.

This particular plate, like others in the series, was created using the labor-intensive and expensive aquatint engraving process, which involves etching the image onto a copper plate. The plates were then hand-colored by a team of skilled colorists, making each print a unique work of art. "Whip-poor-will (plate LXXXII) Caprimulgus vociferus" stands as a testament to Audubon's legacy and the 19th-century golden age of bird illustration.
