I am always attracted still to the magic of nature and the beauty of it's images captured by an artist. The book I used here is Garden Birds of the World illustrated by Maurice Pledger.
Egg identification plates printed from The Graphic's Fairy and Vintage Printable.
A copy of John James Audubon's Bird's of America, sold at Sotheby's in London (Dec. 2010) for $11.5 million. You can view it here online.
Motif's of birds, nests, and eggs are such a beautiful and cheerful images for spring.
