This watercolour, depicts an adult male roseate spoonbill, a great bird indigenous to the southeast coast of the United States. To provide a life-sized portrayal of the bird within space constraints, John James Audubon depicts it feeding, with its head bowed. The sketched background reveals waterways with reeds growing on their shores, the roseate spoonbill's natural habitat. Hills can also be seen on the horizon.
