AUDUBON, John James (1785 - 1851). Audubon’s extensive travel and study of birds fueled his aspiration to produce a similarly monumental record of the quadrupeds native to North America. He believed that this study would serve as an appropriate culmination of his life’s work to create a complete scientific record of the animals of this continent.
