  • A spent Chinook salmon lays at rest after completing its life cycle. Shortly after spawning, many salmon die of exhaustion and drift ashore, returning nutrients to the forest and opportunistic predators. With the decline of native Atlantic salmon in New York State, stocked Pacific salmon now primarily fill Lake Ontario’s tributaries during the Fall spawn.

  • The tallest single drop waterfall east of the Rocky Mountains flirts with spring as temperatures tip above 70F and the warm sun beams behind the icy falls. The Spring melt triggers a cascade of life and emergence to follow.

  • Taken while freediving in Lake Ontario, a native watersnake (nerodia spp.) snatches up an invasive round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) for lunch. While invasive gobies cause significant harm to native wildlife, predators like this watersnake have learned to take advantage of the abundant food source they provide.

  • Beneath the surface of the St. Lawrence rests a steel freighter that sank just six months after the Titanic. One of the most significant accidents in the area for its time, she now lays at rest, providing refuge to fish and recreation to divers 115 feet deep for over a century.

  • A newly hatched American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) looks out across a maze of mangrove roots on a moonlit night in Everglades National Park. The first three years of a crocodile's life are its most vulnerable where it must face tarpon, shark, and other predators that lurk above and below. The few that survive to adulthood will become top predators and indicators of ecosystem health.

  • Natural coastline is a quickly vanishing sight in Florida. Wind and wave weathered limestone offers a rare window into Florida’s natural history as beach-drawn settlers squeeze into the remaining real estate between the Atlantic ocean and the historic Everglades.

  • A solitary resident of Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge rests and preens its feathers in the late afternoon sun. The yellow-crowned night heron can be elusive among the maze of mangroves in South Florida.

  • A baby veiled chameleon (Chamaeleo calyptratus) reaches for a higher branch. As popular pets, several chameleon species have been introduced to South Florida and populations are regularly seeded in urban areas for later collection.

  • High key image of scrub jays (Aphelocoma coerulescens), Florida's only endemic bird species. As we pave way for new homes for humans, we break up space for theirs. These birds keep close-knit families and rarely stray more than 5 miles from home. Conservationists closely monitor populations as they are becoming increasingly isolated.
