The Carrion Crow and Turkey-B...

The Carrion Crow and Turkey-Buzzard possess great power of recollection, so as to recognise at a great distance a person who has shot at them, and even the horse on which he rides.

John James Audubon 86 quotes

Poor France, thy fine climate...

Poor France, thy fine climate, rich vineyards, and the wishes of the learned avail nothing; thou art a destitute beggar, and not the powerful friend thou wert represented to me.

John James Audubon 86 quotes

To have been torn from the st...

To have been torn from the study would have been as death; my time was entirely occupied with art.

John James Audubon 86 quotes

The best recommendation I can have is my own talents, and the fruits of my own labors, and what others will not do for me, I will try and do for myself.

John James Audubon 86 quotes

Reader, persons who have neve...

Reader, persons who have never witnessed a hurricane, such as not unfrequently desolates the sultry climates of the south, can scarcely form an idea of their terrific grandeur. One would think that, not content with laying waste all on land, it must needs sweep the waters of the shallows quite dry to quench its thirst.

John James Audubon 86 quotes

Because my father was often a...

Because my father was often absent on naval duty, my mother suffered me to do much as I pleased.

John James Audubon 86 quotes

The gay bunting erects his wh...

The gay bunting erects his white crest, and gives utterance to the joy he feels in the presence of his brooding mate; the willow grouse on the rock crows his challenge aloud; each floweret, chilled by the night air, expands its pure petals; the gentle breeze shakes from the blades of grass the heavy dewdrops.

John James Audubon 86 quotes

The eggers destroy all the eg...

The eggers destroy all the eggs that are sat upon, to force the birds to lay fresh eggs, and by robbing them regularly compel them to lay until nature is exhausted, and so but few young ones are raised.

John James Audubon 86 quotes

Hunting, fishing, drawing, and...

Hunting, fishing, drawing, and music occupied my every moment. Cares I knew not, and cared naught about them.

John James Audubon 86 quotes

Would it be possible that I should not in any degree succeed? I can scarcely think so. Ah delusive hope, how much further wilt thou lead me?

John James Audubon 86 quotes

But the moment a bird was dead...

But the moment a bird was dead, no matter how beautiful it had been in life, the pleasure of possession became blunted for me.

Because my father was often absent on naval duty, my mother suffered me to do much as I pleased

John James Audubon 86 quotes

Look at that mallard as he flo...

Look at that mallard as he floats on the lake; see his elevated head glittering with emerald green, his amber eyes glancing in the light! Even at this distance, he has marked you, and suspects that you bear no goodwill towards him, for he sees that you have a gun, and he has many a time been frightened by its report, or that of some other. The wary bird draws his feet under his body, springs upon then, opens his wings, and with loud quacks bids you farewell.

John James Audubon 86 quotes

A Mocking Bird regularly resorts to the south angle of a chimney top and salutes us with sweetest notes from the rising of the moon until about midnight.

John James Audubon 86 quotes

After all, I long to be in America again, nay, if I can go home to return no more to Europe, it seems to me that I shall ever enjoy more peace of mind, and even Physical comfort than I can meet with in any portion of the world beside.

John James Audubon 86 quotes

One day I caught four Dolphins, how much I have gazed at these beautiful creatures... as they changed their hue in twenty varieties of richest arrangement of tints.

John James Audubon 86 quotes

The fact is I am growing old too fast, alas! I feel it, and yet work I will, and may God grant me life to see the last plate of my mammoth work finished.

John James Audubon 86 quotes

There is but one kind of love; God is love, and all his creatures derive theirs from his; only it is modified by the different degrees of intelligence in different beings and creatures.

John James Audubon 86 quotes

Never give up listening to the sounds of birds.

The best recommendation I can have is my own talents, and the fruits of my own labors, and what others will not do for me, I will try and do for myself.
