It is with that in mind, and given that we are pretty much half way through this year, that I have picked my top twenty images for 2017. They stay here in Mexico despite the heat, and raise their families. I feel that the real skill that I bring to the group is in my photography, and some what less, my writing skills.

I couldn’t help thinking this–me, the anthropomorphism hater– as I watched a pair of Philippine Eagles tend their nest, raise a chick, and tear monkeys apart in Bird of Prey: The Story of the Rarest Eagle on Earth , a well-crafted, beautifully filmed documentary with a mission.

They raise their trunks, sniffing the air. This time they appear more relaxed, but nervousness might be a better policy: between 2013 and 2017, well over a thousand rhinos were annually poached in South Africa.

Your last post for 10,000 birds was in 2017. But Mars’s character is less about being an eagle and more about the fact that he was stolen from his nest, raised in captivity, and now considers almost all of mankind – except Luna – to be his enemy.

Seriously, Panama raises the art of under-communication to new, deplorable heights. Let’s be honest: driving around Panama sucks. The main problem, one that makes no sense to those accustomed to well-designed road systems, is an appalling lack of signage.

The beginning of each chapter begins with a stunning, full-page photograph of a gull on the left; each photo shows the gull with wings raised, facing right as if in expectation of wonderful things. And, then there is a Hybrid Gulls chapter, covering five well-documented hybrids. I don’t know.
