Red-Tailed Hawk

Found this one in a green belt area near home. While photographing it flying and attempting to catch some food, it turns out that when I sifted back through the photos that it’s actually missing a leg. It’s very impressive that this hawk is still out there hunting like usual considering that it’s doing it with only 1 set of talons instead of 2.

Albino Alligator “Elvira”

As some people know, I’ve been working on a documentary project this year revolving around alligators. While it’s been nearly 5 months in the works so far, there’s still plenty of work to be done. This is the first project of my own that I’ve done in years and is currently independent funded. If you’d like to follow the progress and find out how you can support this project as well, feel free to reach out and be sure to follow the film’s page to see updates and some awesome animals!

Tōrea-Pango aka a Variable Oyster Catcher.

One of my favorite captures and wildlife moments I got to witness while out in New Zealand. I watched as one of the these birds went flying around, searching, and catching food. Soon after, it proceeded to bringing the food back to its mate. A selfless gesture found in the animal kingdom and fascinating to see.

Tuatara

Sole survivors of a lineage of species that dates back to the Triassic period. Only found in certain areas of New Zealand, these lizards are super fascinating and conservation efforts are constantly being made to make sure they continue to live on.

Pīwakawaka aka a Fantail.

Another birb native to New Zealand. Very energetic and constantly moving, I felt like I was lucky to get a shot of this relatively small bird while it jumped around in the darker, shady areas. I didn’t quite capture the actual “fan tail” I would’ve liked, but still a fun capture of a really cool species!

Kererū aka a New Zealand Pigeon.

With a surprising plump to flying capabilities ratio, this colorful bird caught our attention while out hiking. It posed for a good amount of photos before flying off across a steep drop off, but that wasn’t before it was balancing and hopping around on the tiniest twigs trying to keep its balance. A silly time watching this bird and also thinking it was something extra exotic until I heard the classic cooing. Progressively a birder in training 😂

Common Starling. For being so “common”, still has some subtle, but neat textures and colors!
