Audubon’s Birthday


On April 26, 1785, John James Audubon was born on the island of Hispaniola in what is now Haiti. You can offer best birthday wishes and enjoy a handful of his works — including two “elephant folio” prints from Birds of America, plus an original drawing and one print from the octavo edition — currently on display on the second floor of Hill Memorial Library.
