Topic Reading-Vol.3983-3/21/2023

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Why a wildlife photographer took 40,000 photos to capture these extraordinary birds
Tim Laman is an American wildlife photojournalist, filmmaker, and field biologist. He uses his cameras as tools to tell the stories of rare and endangered wildlife in some of the wildest places on the planet. He often spends many months a year on expeditions to study and shoot photos of biodiversity sometimes in extreme environments such as the rainforest canopy in Borneo to the coral reefs of Papua, and from mountain peaks in New Guinea to the seas of Antarctica. In one case, he spent a night in rising water just to get himself into the situation. In another case, he spent a whole night standing just to photograph some birds in the evening and morning light. And until 2012, he spent over 500 days in New Guinea on 18 trips and took nearly 40,000 photos to capture every known species of the bird paradise.
Enjoy some of those dramatic and colorful photos of beautiful birds in the natural environment.
