猫头鹰、海鹦甚至城市鸽子在获奖鸟类照片中大放异彩

鸟儿鸣叫、啾啾、咕咕,但这些奥杜邦的照片可能会让你无言以对。

鸟类在我们日常生活的忙碌中常常被忽视,但它们却点缀着几乎所有的环境。它们作为捕食者、传粉者和种子传播者,扮演着至关重要的生态角色。无论它们翱翔于头顶还是潜藏于地下,许多这些特殊的生物都可能受到人类活动和气候变化的影响,而2023年奥杜邦摄影奖的一些作品正是为了展现这一点。通过一声快门、一次咔嚓和大量的耐心,这个比赛的获奖者们捕捉到了世界各地常见和不常见的飞禽。

为了捕捉到总冠军作品,专业摄影师Liron Gertsman特意驱车前往他位于加拿大温哥华的家以南约一小时车程的地方,躲藏在一处码头下方。在那里,他将镜头对准了一对熟悉的鸟儿——野鸽子,它们常常在拥挤的城市里被看到觅食。像Gertsman发现的这一对一样,野鸽子会终生相伴。凭借一台便携式佳能相机,这位总冠军获得了鸟儿那锐利的眼神和色彩斑斓的羽毛。

其他参赛者则走得更远,有的甚至远至北极海湾,去捕捉这些温血动物在其栖息地的身影。他们找到了静如处子般的北方海鹦(Atlantic puffin)安静地坐在悬崖上,也找到了动态十足的鹬(dunlin)在海浪边跳跃。有关每张照片的更多信息和含义,请访问奥杜邦网站,在那里您可以查看其他获奖作品和视频奖项。
