Great Carolina Wren

Robert Havell after John James Audubon

National Gallery of Art

Two brown and white birds are perched on a branch of a plant with vibrant pink and yellow flowers, against a plain light background. One bird is situated at the top of the flowering branch, with its head raised and beak open, while the other is positioned lower on the branch, partially nestled among the foliage and flowers.
