About the Item

The bird **Ampelis garrulus** (Bohemian Waxwing). Title: Ampelis Garrulus - Hand-colored Bohemian Waxwing Lithograph **Artist:** Magnus von Wright **Printer:** A. Bortzells Tryckeri **Work:** Svenska fåglar (Swedish Birds) **Year:** 1927 **Medium:** Hand-colored Lithograph Description: This exquisite hand-colored lithograph by Magnus von Wright, printed by A. Bortzells Tryckeri, depicts the Bohemian Waxwing (Ampelis garrulus). The Bohemian Waxwing is a striking bird with a sleek, silky plumage. It has a prominent crest on its head, a black mask around its eyes, and a distinctive black throat. The bird's body is predominantly a soft greyish-brown, with darker wings that feature bright white and yellow markings, and a bright yellow band at the tip of its tail. The name "Waxwing" comes from the red, wax-like tips on the secondary feathers of its wings, which are more visible in adults. In the illustration, the Bohemian Waxwing is shown perched on a branch, showcasing its elegant posture and detailed feather patterns. The hand-coloring highlights the bird's beautiful and unique coloration, capturing its essence perfectly. **Habitat and Distribution:** The Bohemian Waxwing is a nomadic bird that breeds in the boreal forests of the northern hemisphere and is known for its irruptive winter migrations. It can be found in: - **Europe:** Breeding in the northern parts and migrating southwards in the winter, often seen in large flocks feeding on berries. - **Asia:** Found across the boreal forests of Siberia, and migrates to more temperate regions during the winter. - **North America:** Breeds in the northern boreal forests of Canada and Alaska, migrating to the northern United States in winter. Bohemian Waxwings are gregarious birds, often seen in large flocks during the non-breeding season. They primarily feed on berries and insects, playing a significant role in the dispersal of berry seeds. This print captures the Bohemian Waxwing's distinctive features and vibrant colors, making it a valuable addition to any ornithological collection. ---
