James Audubon (April 26, 1785 to January 27, 1851) documented American wildlife, and his paintings of birds are famous everywhere. According to one biographer Audubon:
..."wrote that lynx and owls were the great predators of wild turkeys. after of course humans. The lynx, he observed, were "great ambushers." They would notice the direction a flock was moving, then circle around to be in their path ahead of them.
This is recalled in a new biography of the ornithologist, written by William Souder, Under a wild sky: John James Audubon and the making of the Birds of America (2005).
