Is This Real or AI? Watch the Blink Closely Eagles have a stillness that borders on the supernatural. If there isn’t a breeze dancing through their feathers, you might never know you are watching a video, NOT a still image. Then the mystical blink slaps you back into the safe

Eagle + Rain + Fog = One Insane Wildlife Moment Bone chilling wind, ice cold rain and a thin veil of fog didn’t seem to stop this majestic eagle. It slammed on the brakes and came sliding in, pantaloons swaying in the breeze, talons curled into tiny fists, eager to wrap

Being able to sit eye to eye with the largest pelican in the world was a very surreal experience. It left me wondering all sort of profound things. 1: What kind of thoughts linger behind those ancient eyes? 2: Is this beautiful bird reading my mind with some sort of

When the pompano are running through the inlet you can bet the Osprey will be somewhere above plotting the perfect moment to come crashing out of the sky and rip one from the waters below. I’ve seen Osprey carry away some simply massive pompano and even though this is a smaller

It was cold. 🥶 like very, very cold. Like, I can’t feel my lower extremities cold but then I saw it. The magical little short eared owl. As I stepped out of the warm snuggly confines of the car and into the inhospitable winter climate of upstate New York I steadied my camera

Not all eagles come crashing in like it’s the end of the world. Some of them are very methodical. This bird sees its catch slowly floating to the surface and patiently waits. If you look closely you can see the entire thought process at work. Calculating the angle, the timing,

Wildlife photography in Florida comes with its own set of challenges, especially when it comes to dealing with the locals. Orlando Wetlands is a fantastic spot to see some of these “locals” up close… sometimes a little too close. If you’re out exploring the trails, roads, or

Let’s go back in time a couple of weeks. It was early in the morning. and I was on the hunt for a fresh cup of coffee. A thin cool blanket of fog had settled in overnight and with it, a few dozen eagles. A huge school of hake had succumb to the tide and were now floating on the

Filming eagles with a fixed 600mm prime lens handheld while trying to keep your footing on a moving boat that is bouncing around in some of the world’s most dangerous ocean rapids is hard. Very hard. Like you will most likely need physical therapy hard but I thought I’d try

Pigeon Guillemot or as I like to call them, “Gillys,” are incredible little birds. Bird Walks, I Mean Runs on Water We visited a colony of them just north of Vancouver Island and their home is nothing more than a sheer cliff. Seeing them fly full speed towards the cliff wall

It was once said, “Press record and the eagles will fly…” I wish it were that easy. It’s not. But every once in a while, the stars align. The tide rolls in just right, the light softens, you’ve got space on the cards, your batteries are charged, and then, out of nowhere, an

Osprey Wrestling a Pompano (or Is It a Permit?) I love watching ospreys hunt in the mighty Atlantic. You never really know what they’ll wrangle from the surf, sometimes it’s a tiny finger mullet, other times a baby shark. But today? This bird pulled up a thick, silvery slab of

Skimming the Surf: Black Skimmers Glide Through Winter Waves Summer’s in full swing here in Florida. It’s hot. And humid. Some days it hits 90%. The rest? 100%. You sort of get used to it. Actually, no you don’t. I’m already counting down to our version of “winter,” when the

Sometimes the magic of sunrise isn’t in the sun itself, but in the way its light reflects and dances across the world around it. That glowing background? Its sunrise reflected on moving water, shot in a way that transforms it into shimmering orbs of light, often called bokeh

Did this eagle just clean its talons before a meal?! It’s always a good idea to wash your hands before having a tasty snack. It doesn’t matter if you are chowing on purple popcorn or a hearty, handsome hake fish. This eagle knows the importance of good, clean hygiene so it

I’ve shared a lot of Black Skimmer videos, and people always ask: “Do they ever catch anything?” This video answers that question beautifully. And if you watch until the end… you’ll see that sometimes, it’s catch and release.

Would You Eat Flowers? This Bird Does. Sometimes you have to stop and smell… uhhh, I mean eat the flowers. The official name for this bird is “Common Gallinule,” but I don’t love that name. Nothing about this bird feels common to me. So let’s just call it a Gallinule. And

Apparently Hake fish heads are a little difficult to swallow, even for an eagle. I never considered that would be a thing. Learn something new every day and no better soundtrack than the classic 80s song “Fish Heads.”

What do you think is going on here? Are these two herons a couple? Friends? Is one teaching the other? Or is this just an oddly polite moment in the bird world. One heron patiently waiting while the other tries (and fails) to catch its breakfast? Here’s the part that truly

The adult brown pelicans know exactly how to get rid of those pesky, pushy gulls. It just takes a little wing stretch!
