Questo artista e naturalista divenne rinomato per i suoi studi approfonditi e le sue illustrazioni dettagliate dell'avifauna americana nel suo habitat naturale. La sua opera principale, un libro di tavole a colori, è considerata una delle migliori opere ornitologiche mai completate. Nonostante le difficoltà finanziarie e le lotte personali, si dedicò al suo amato mestiere per catturare la bellezza della natura. La sua influenza sull'ornitologia e sulla storia naturale fu di vasta portata, con la sua arte e i suoi elevati standard che ispirarono quasi tutte le opere successive.
