The covers of The Saturday Evening Post have featured plenty of elegant avians. Here are a few of our favorites.
Pink Flamingos
Jacques Lowe
January 29, 1938
Florida
In the early 1800s, Florida was home to hundreds of thousands of Flamingos. By the turn of the century, the wild birds were all but gone from the state, eradicated by egg and feather collectors. In recent years, the birds seem to be making a slow comeback in the Everglades, a vast improvement over the plastic, front-lawn variety.
Marsh Bird
Paul Bransom
October 3, 1925
South Carolina
South Carolina has 344,500 acres of salt marsh, the most of any state on the east coast. This regal bird looks as though he’s happy to claim every last one as his own.
