"The result of more than a year of planning and about a week of in-person scouting along the coast of Sinaloa, Mexico, a precisely timed portrait of a Magnificent frigatebird flying in front of a total solar eclipse was captured by Canadian photographer Liron Gertsman. Winner of the 2025 Bird Photographer of the Year competition, Gertsman's image demonstrates the effort and time that goes into documenting some of the world's most remarkable birds."
"This year's contest saw more than 33,000 entries from photographers all over the world, including three youth categories. With conservation at the heart of its mission, the competition also donated more than £5,000 to Birds on the Brink, a charity that funds grassroots efforts to benefit avians. Categories like Urban Birds, Best Portrait, and Birds in the Environment showcase a wide range of the feathered creatures' behaviors and habitats."
