Google is sporting another special logo today, this one honoring the 226th birthday of John James Audubon.

Audubon, of course, was a nature-lover who focused on studying and painting/chronicling birds all across North America. In 1905, more than 50 years after his death, the National Audubon Society formed in his honor.
