"Red-tailed Hawk (plate Li)" is a renowned illustration by John James Audubon, an eminent American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter. This artwork is part of Audubon's magnum opus, "The Birds of America," a monumental collection of life-sized watercolors of North American birds, published between 1827 and 1838. Audubon's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of his avian subjects have made "The Birds of America" one of the most celebrated works in the history of ornithological illustration.

The Red-tailed Hawk, scientifically known as Buteo jamaicensis, is one of the most widespread and commonly observed birds of prey in North America. Audubon's depiction of this raptor is both scientifically accurate and artistically compelling, showcasing his dual talents as a naturalist and an artist. The illustration features the hawk in a dynamic pose, capturing the bird's powerful build, keen eyesight, and distinctive red tail feathers, which are characteristic of the species.

Audubon’s work on "The Birds of America" was groundbreaking not only for its artistic merit but also for its scientific contributions. Each plate, including the Red-tailed Hawk, was created using a combination of watercolor, pastel, and ink, and was engraved and hand-colored by skilled artisans. The life-sized representations required Audubon to employ innovative techniques, including the use of large sheets of paper known as the "double elephant folio."

The Red-tailed Hawk illustration is a testament to Audubon's dedication to studying and documenting the avifauna of North America. His ability to observe and portray birds in their natural habitats provided valuable insights into their behavior, anatomy, and ecology. Today, Audubon's "The Birds of America" remains a vital reference for ornithologists and a treasured masterpiece in the art world, with the Red-tailed Hawk (plate Li) standing out as a particularly striking example of his work.
