Naturalist John James Audubon Images Digitized

The University of Pittsburgh Library System, which owns one of only 120 sets of the large hand-colored works of John James Audubon's North American birds, has digitized the 435 images he created and mounted them online. It is a magnificent website - http://digital.library.pitt.edu/a/audubon/. Whether you are teaching onithology or just wanting to view this incredible collection, great thanks should be extended to the University of Pittsburgh for sharing these with us.
