一只被斩首的松鼠无力地挂在一只斑点猫头鹰的爪子里。一只红颈鸊鷉幼鸟伸长脖子，吞食着父母刚捕来的鱼。夕阳西下，数百只箝鸟栖息在德克萨斯州的电线上。

2024年奥杜邦摄影奖的获奖者们以令人惊叹的细节记录了鸟类迷人的行为。今年的获奖者是从8500份投稿中选出的，共获得九个类别的奖项，包括“青少年”、“业余”、“植物为鸟”和新设立的“景观中的鸟类”。

摄影师Mathew Malwitz凭借他在宾夕法尼亚州格林敦的普罗米斯兰州立公园拍摄的黑翅林莺争斗的照片（见下图）赢得了总冠军奖。

“我出去散步时，一直在一条小径上跟着一首歌鸲的歌声，这时两只争斗的黑翅林莺从树上掉了下来，”Malwitz说。“它们落在我面前几英尺远的地方，迫使我小心地后退。它们一动不动，我担心摔伤了它们，但片刻之后它们又开始搏斗。一旦我意识到它们忙于打斗而没有注意到我，我就慢慢地蹲下身子，与它们在同一个高度，以便更好地观察它们的世界。我调整了快门设置以捕捉动作，并拍摄了它们打斗的瞬间。这场面持续了几分钟，然后它们就放开了对方，回到了树冠。”

A Forster’s Tern is in the air, its head turned almost 180 degrees so that its bill is pointing almost straight up, and its tail is twisted. The bird’s outstretched wings give the impression the bird is floating upside down. Water droplets appear in a stream from the bird’s bill and also below it.

Two adult Red-necked Grebes face each other in the water. The entire grebe’s body on the right is visible, and two black and white-headed chicks sit on its back. One is leaning to receive a small fish from the bill of the parent.

Silhouetted grackles perch on power lines that bisect the image, with their tails nearly all pointing in the same direction. The sky is purple and pink. Through the whole of the photo are blurry figures of grackles flying through the air.
