Watching You Watching Them

The thing about birdwatching is that it goes both ways, and that’s what this shot by Russian-American photographer Alex Badyaev captures. Look at that bird’s eye on him! This picture won the Urban Wildlife category.
Badyaev took this picture of a Cordilleran flycatcher in Montana’s Rocky Mountain Front, where he was working to observe the birds with a biologist who you can see in the back of the frame. The species shown in the picture is declining across western North America due to climate-induced changes in its habitat. Save the birds so we can see more pictures like this.
