Audubon Kentucky Warblers on Magnolia Playing Cards

This charming reproduction of John James Audubon’s Plate 38 from Birds of America captures a pair of lively Kentucky Warblers perched on a branch of the cucumber tree magnolia, the largest of the magnolia species, adorned with peach-hued blossoms. Among the beautiful yellow and olive-green warblers, a tiny spider dangles from its web—a whimsical detail that makes this artwork a true conversation piece. The Kentucky Warbler is easily recognized by its striking yellow "spectacles" on a mostly black head, with an olive-green back and bright yellow underside. Known for its loud, undulating song similar to the Carolina Wren, the male is a persistent singer, repeating his melody several times a minute to defend his territory. Audubon’s detailed portrayal brings these charming birds and the grandeur of the magnolia tree to life, making this vintage print a captivating addition for bird lovers, nature enthusiasts, and fans of classic art.
