Jean-Jacques Audubon was born in 1785, in Les Cayes in the French colony of Saint-Domingue (now Haiti), the illegitimate son of a sugar planter and one of his slaves. Audubon's father raised the boy in France and sent him to America to avoid his being conscripted into the army. And the rest, as they say, is history ... Audubon's drawings of American birds revolutionized not only ornithology but art. Here is one of his plates - the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker.
I used to teach Russian and Ukrainian, and some basic English, to civil servants. Now I teach Russian at a local continued-learning institute. I dabble in Gaelic and Welsh. I'm am amateur photographer and I love birding (in a small way). I'm a Progressive, and a Freethinker, and I know Evolution is a fact - that's FCD, Friend of Charles Darwin (look down the sidebar). I read a lot, and follow women's college basketball. Also I love astronomy, though I'm a rank amateur at it. Most of all, I like living in the reality-based community...
