Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge

10,000 Birds

Growing up in central Oregon, allowed me to experience such a diverse amount of habitat, and the wildlife that resides there. The combination of over hunting, and the native animals susceptibility to diseases carried by domestic livestock that were allowed to graze there, completely eliminated these Bighorns by 1915.

The Geladas of Ethiopia

10,000 Birds

These experiences were the highlight of my trip to Ethiopia and one of the most fascinating and enjoyable encounters I have ever had the privilege to experience in many years of wildlife watching. Competition with domestic livestock has restricted some Gelada bands to poorer foraging on steep slopes. Photo by Adam Riley.
