Beautiful rendered colored pictures of the birds and plants as Mark Catesby first discovered them in 1722. Mark drew and painted wildlife in the Carolinas, Florida and the Bahama Islands. He was a botanist, artist and naturalist...who came 100 years earlier than John Audubon. See and enjoy here his drawings as the author has recreated them. The author has given the scientific names, the common English names and also the unique name that Mark Catesby first assigned to the birds and animals he discovered in the New World of 1722 early America. Mark Catesby pioneered scientific studies into bird migrations and ecology in North America. He annotated habits and described the appearance of over 260 species in the south eastern region of North America. See carefully colored replications from 30 of Mark's works of nature's beauty and bounty.
