Audubon's Birds of America is one of the most valuable books ever and shaped how museums and scientists do illustration and taxidermy today.  In this episode, we celebrate the life of the naturalist and illustrator, from his birth in Haiti to his fame as one of America's most iconic frontiersmen, painting birds across America, like this now extinct Carolina Parakeet.  Music and sound production by Michael Vignola, Bobby Cole, Boon, Sully Allen, Jacob Weaver, and Luke Ramsey.
