| Summary | "Ornithological Biography, Vol. 2 (of 5): An Account of the Habits of the Birds of the United States of America" by John James Audubon is a scientific publication written in the early 19th century. The work serves to document the behaviors and habitats of various bird species found in the United States, complemented by illustrations from Audubon's earlier collection, "The Birds of America." The book provides detailed observations and descriptions of bird life, shedding light on their interactions with the environment and each other. The opening of this volume reflects Audubon's personal journey of discovery as he traverses the vast landscapes of America—from its majestic forests to its coastal shores. He shares his heartfelt sentiments about separation from family, alongside a growing longing for connection with nature. The text details his travels through significant locales, introduces notable figures encountered along the way, and sets the stage for meticulous descriptions of bird species. In this portion, Audubon expresses his gratitude toward friends and supporters while hinting at the continued exploration of avian life, thus inviting readers to join him in an immersive experience of ornithological study.
