US naturalist (7)

I believe the answer is:

audubon

(Other definitions for audubon that I've seen before include "John James -, US ornithologist and artist" , "J. J. -; US bird artist" , "Famous illustrator of American birds" , "He painted birds" , "Famous bird illustrator" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
