This image is a high-quality scan of a hand-colored lithograph from John James Audubon's "Birds of America." It depicts wood ducks (Aix sponsa) in a naturalistic setting. In the scene, there are multiple wood ducks positioned around a tree with lush green leaves and what appears to be acorns attached to the branches.

On the top, two wood ducks, one behind the other, are perched on a branch. Below them, to the right, another wood duck is in flight, wings partly spread as it appears to be about to land or take off from a branch. Near the bottom left corner, there is a dramatic representation of two more wood ducks in a more animated posture, with one of them seeming to be taking off with flapping wings.

In the bottom right corner, a duck is poking its head out of a hole in a tree trunk, which is likely a nesting site, while another looks on from outside the hole. The attention to detail in the feathers, colors, and textures is meticulous, consistent with Audubon's style, emphasizing both the beauty and the behaviors of the birds.

At the bottom of the image, there is text that indicates this is "Plate 206" and identifies the birds as "Summer or Wood Duck." It also gives their scientific name and includes a notation "Male 1. Female 2. Young 3. 1825," suggesting the year when the species was observed, and likely the sex and age of the birds as depicted in the plate. The print showcases Audubon's signature style, blending scientific accuracy with artistic elegance.
