I never post personal content, but for any other trolls hoping to accuse me of stolen valor for disagreeing with their opinions, I’m leaving one of the few pictures I have of myself in my 20s after losing most of my possessions. This is myself and my mom after TACP graduation.

Trump’s plan for a 25-mile wall in a remote area of Arizona would block a critical wildlife corridor on the state’s border with Mexico and imperil the survival of at least 16 threatened/endangered species, including jaguars. Local police note that illegal crossings are “practically unheard-of.”

The White-tailed Eagle. 🦅

The UK’s biggest bird of prey.

Once extinct here, now soaring back into our skies.

With our new film 'Return' about to launch, let’s celebrate these giants of the sky...

UNBELIEVABLELY sweet moment between a peacock chick and their parent.

Not sharebait.

I COULD NOT believe my luck.

Last year I had seen the chicks about 3 weeks later, I was determined to get them younger, and this one DID NOT disappoint!

I can't post birds from Hacienda el Bosque #Colombia without the spectacular Shining Sunbeam. This #hummingbird is one of those rare ones that you want to see from the back, as the front is rather plain.

A bit of drama today at Agami Island as this male got into a fight with another male displaying nearby. There was some snapping and bill clacking and this guy then goes into full-on dance mode with his crest expanded.

The Agami Herons are very busy right now collecting twigs for their nests. One adult will collect sticks and then the mates will debate the best location for said twig. I'm going to spend some time over the next few weeks documenting the nesting of these amazing birds.
