Fifty original watercolors by Eduardo Brettas and Michael DiGiorgio travel across the Americas, from the Whistling Heron of the southern grasslands to the Snowy Owl of the Arctic. Painted between 2004 and 2007 and now gathered in a book, they form a continental portrait of the birds of the New World.
