EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by John Cancalosi, we witness a remarkable moment in the life of an Atlantic Puffin. Nestled on the picturesque British Isles, these adorable birds breed and thrive in great numbers. With their vibrant orange beaks filled to the brim with sand eels, they embark on a mission to satisfy their hungry nestlings. As skilled hunters of the sea, puffins dive fearlessly into the depths to snatch up fish for their growing families. Their pelagic adventures during winter only add to their allure as they traverse vast oceanic landscapes. But what makes this particular image so fascinating is not just witnessing nature's predator at work; it's also about observing its ever-changing appearance. After breeding season concludes, our feathered friend sheds its outer bill layers and reveals a smaller yellow and grey beak – truly a transformative makeover! And let's not forget about those expressive faces! In winter, these lovable creatures trade their colorful features for a dark grey complexion that adds an air of mystery. So next time you find yourself gazing upon John Cancalosi's stunning print of CAN-2985, take delight in knowing that within this single frame lies an entire ecosystem teeming with life – from bustling colonies nestled on grassy slopes to puffins diligently ferrying food back home. It’s wildlife photography at its finest!
