Getting Started
By the time the first Audubon Society was organized in the late 1800s, the person it was named for had been dead for several decades. But John James Audubon left a strong impression consisted of 435 life-size watercolor prints of the birds of North America. Over time, his name has become synonymous with bird conservation. His life is a story of one man who overcame great odds and made sacrifices to achieve his goal: to turn a passion for birds and art into a profession.
