14 soaring and stunning images from 2024 Bird Photographer of the Year awards
Jack Zhi observed a Peregrine Falcon fledgling honing its hunting skills in the skies of Southern California. After a week of practice, the young bird successfully caught a butterfly mid-flight, which Zhi captured in a photograph.
The resulting image captured the intense focus of the falcon on the butterfly. Zhi mentioned, “[The fledgling] was successful on occasion, caught the butterfly, played with it for a second, then released it. I have been photographing peregrines for years, and this was the first time I have seen fledglings play with butterflies.” This image won the silver award in the Bird Behaviour category of the 2024 Bird Photography of the Year contest.
Over 23,000 images from photographers worldwide were submitted for this year’s awards across eight categories. The title of Bird Photographer of the Year was awarded to Patricia Homonylo of Canada for her powerful image titled “When Worlds Collide,” which depicted over 4,000 dead birds, victims of collisions with windows and reflective surfaces in urban areas.
Entries for the 2025 Bird Photographer of the Year are now open to photographers of all skill levels and backgrounds. (To see images in their full, stunning glory, click to expand.)
