Breeding Black Redstarts

Video: South Georgia and the Falkland Islands
On October 29th I packed my bags for a trip of a lifetime to perhaps the most remote place I have ever been – South Georgia Island. Before this trip I had never been anywhere close to this far south. I had never been so far out at sea. And I had definitely never seen […]

Video: White-tailed kite hawk on the hunt
A White-tailed kite hawk goes hunting. At the end of the video he catches something (a vole I think) out of my view but brings it back to one of his favorite spots where it swallow it’s victims head whole! This was captured in the East Bay hills near San Francisco. Shot & produced by […]
