Some eagle photos from our Japan in winter tour. I am heading back to do a tour here in spring, focusing on migration, local breeding birds and seabirds. But this trip is all about cranes, eagles, ducks and geese and superb food. www.alvarosadventures.com/japan-in-spr...

"Between 2016 and 2019, the level of PM2.5 [air pollution] fell significantly, and in turn the city’s morbidity rate from acute respiratory infections decreased from 159.8 to 95.3 per 1,000 people."
In Medellín, a city of 2.5 million people in Colombia, the Green Corridors urban restoration project has planted 880,000 trees and 2.5 million plants, reducing pollution and bringing temperatures down by 2 degrees C. #ShareGoodNewsToo reasonstobecheerful.world/green-corrid...

A long shot but wtf.
When I was photographing birds on the empty beach south of Barcelona's airport, this magnificent gentleman waved to me, pointed to himself, and immediately struck a pose. I fired off this frame, we shared a laugh from 50m, and went on our ways.
I'd love to get it to him.

I don’t think people realize how massive of a cultural sea change is necessary for us to avoid unthinkable disaster.

Ridgway’s rail! 🪶
This endangered species is easily heard in parts of the Bay Area, but very hard to see as they skulk in marsh grass. At Arrowhead Marsh, I’ve seen one just twice in 15 trips—fleetingly, at a distance.
But yesterday, because of the very high tide, long, clear sightings of FOUR.
