Nothing compares to seeing birds in action. Capturing compelling video of bird behavior can be a tall task—the videographer must be ready to record and able to stay focused on their often unpredictable subject for an extended period.
Last year’s video entries to the Audubon Photography Awards capture vivid and intimate moments that show birds in all their beauty and power.
