He was notable for his expansive studies to document all types of American birds and for his detailed illustrations that depicted the birds in their natural habitats. His major work, a color-plate book entitled The Birds of North America (1827-1839), is considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed. Audubon identified 25 new species and a number of new sub-species. Audubon method for drawing bird: he killed them using fine shot and then used wires to prop them into a natural position. In 1848, he manifested signs of senility, his "noble mind in ruins." He died at his family home in 1851.
