I just came back from a great birding trip to South Eastern Arizona where I saw many new birds. This Gambel's Quail is no. 1,000 on my life list 😃 #birds #BirdPhotography #WildlifePhotography #birding #Arizona #quail

I had an incredible encounter with this rare Fiordland crested penguin on the West Coast, a moment I’ll never forget.
These elusive penguins are one of the world’s rarest, and facing threats from habitat loss, predators, and climate change. Encounters like this remind me why protecting New Zealand’s fragile coastal ecosystems is so important to me.

A Fiordland crested penguin stands upright on rugged, mussel-covered coastal rocks with the ocean surf in the background. Its yellow eyebrow-like crests and wet feathers are visible, showing it has just emerged from the sea. The setting is wild and remote, typical of New Zealand’s West Coast.
