Captivating views of birdlife In photographs that surprise with
their eye-catching composition and amaze with their detail, The Art
of Birds captures the beauty of birds as most people never see
them. Jim Miller focuses his camera lens on distinctive and
spectacular species found in the wetlands and along the shorelines
of Florida and the southeast, portraying their behaviors in their
natural habitats. Ranging from striking portraits to high speed
stop-action shots, the images showcase the splendor of large birds
such as the anhinga, great blue heron, sandhill crane, snowy egret,
osprey, and flamingo. They also depict the charm of smaller species
including the ruddy turnstone, boat-tailed grackle, and the least
bittern. Many of the photographs display brilliant plumage up
close. Others show aspects of bird life related to courting,
feeding, and flying. Accompanying the images are descriptions of
the species by early naturalists and ornithologists, from William
Bartram to John James Audubon to Arthur Cleveland Bent. The
excerpts from their narratives and journals reveal bird populations
and environments that we can only imagine today, providing an
homage to Old Florida through the perspectives of some of its most
astute and eloquent chroniclers. Miller's captivating photography
encourages viewers to marvel at the elegant combination of form and
function in bird species, perfected by processes of adaptation and
selection over millions of years. The Art of Birds celebrates the
creativity of nature, the joy of observation, and the richness of
birdlife.
