Ioannes Iacobus Audubon (natus Jean-Jacques Rabin Les Cayes in Saint-Domingue (deinde Haitia) die 26 Aprilis 1785; mortuus Manhatae die 27 Ianuarii 1851) fuit ornithologus, naturalista, pictor, et scriptor Americanus. Ars et ornithologia eum tam tenebant ut plenum omnium specierum avium Americae Septentrionalis monumentum conficeret.[1] Studiis omnium avium Americanarum atque adumbrationibus quae aves in earum habitationibus naturalibus subtiliter pingebant late innotuit. Eius magnum opus, The Birds of America ('Aves Americae', 1827–1839), liber laminarum coloratarum, unum ex maximis operibus ornithologicis confectis habetur. Audubon praeterea viginti quinque species invenit. Societas Auduboniana Nationalis ex eo appellatur, eiusque nomen permulta oppida, vicos, vias in omnibus Civitatum Foederatarum regionibus ornat.[2] Bis in pittaciis cursualibus Civitatum Foederatarum apparet. Multa nomina scientifica ab eo excogitata et primum prolata hodie in usu ab eruditis sunt.[3]

Cum avibus Audubon puer et iuvenis acrem coniunctionem percipiebat: "Familiaritatem cum eis sentiebam . . . paene insaniam, quae meos gradus per vitam comitaretur."[4] Pater, Ioannes Audubon, dives sagatus navalis Francicus, eius studium naturae cohortabatur:

Elegantem avium motum, pulchritudinem mollitiemque eorum pennarum monstrabat. Eorum voluptatis ostentationem vel sensus periculi, formas perfectas, vestitumque splendidum mihi indicabat. De eorum discessu et tempestivo reditu loquebatur.[5]

Audubon in Francia per annos Rerum Novarum et eventuum qui statim sequebantur adolevit. Tibia violinaque ludere, in equo vehi, gladii artem, saltare didicit.[6]
