While photographing Lower Pine Creek Waterfall in Zion National Park for this month's gallery, we had company: a small slate-gray bird called an American dipper.

Best part: dippers only live where the water is clean, which makes them a living indicator species. Spot one and you have learned something about the whole creek.

Fun Fact Friday: the common eider is not as common as the name suggests. Common eiders are considered a large sea duck, occupying Arctic coastline in North America, Greenland, Northern Europe, and parts of Russia. Mature male common eiders have an orangish yellow wedge shaped bill, and their breeding areas are farther north than their wintering grounds.

Throwback to this black and white shot of a goliath grouper off the coast of Boynton Beach, Florida, taken in the weeks leading up to the annual goliath grouper aggregations. Individual grouper can travel over 100 miles to reach these aggregation sites to breed. Our dive buddy Don is in frame here, and he gives you a real sense of just how massive this fish is. One goliath grouper caught off Florida weighed in at 680 pounds.

With today's underwater camera gear, black and white underwater photography is becoming rarer, but large subjects like goliath groupers are some of our favorites to shoot that way. Did you know that despite having teeth, goliath grouper swallow their prey whole?

Some good news from the wild this week. Nepal's most recent tiger survey counted 429 wild tigers, up from just 121 back in 2010, one of the most significant endangered species recoveries anywhere in the world. The recovery is the result of decades of work helping people and tigers coexist, including predator proof enclosures, early warning systems, and eco-tourism that lets local communities benefit directly from conservation success. More than 5,000 households now have protection in place, and over one million wildlife alerts have gone out to keep people safe.

Stories like this are exactly why we do what we do. Conservation works when people and wildlife have a way to share the same landscape.

Fun Fact Friday! 🐦 Meet the loggerhead shrike from this month's gallery. It's a songbird with a raptor's appetite. Nicknamed the "butcherbird," this robin-sized bird has a "tomial tooth" on its bill. It's not an actual tooth, but a sharp point used to snap prey's necks. Since shrikes lack raptor talons, they impale prey larger than themselves on thorns (or barbed wire!) to hold it steady, or save it for later like a pantry. Wild right?

Throwback Thursday 📸 Before this month's black-and-white gallery took us to Zion, we captured this pronghorn braving a snowstorm in Yellowstone for our January 2025 "National Parks" gallery. This photo was also shot in black and white! Pronghorn are the fastest land mammal in the Western Hemisphere, capable of sustained speeds around 50 mph (they likely evolved that speed to outrun predators that went extinct thousands of years ago!).

Happy Wednesday, wild friends! Back in 2017, six orphaned white rhino calves were rescued from reserves in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal province after poachers killed their mothers. The nonprofit Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife took them in, and spent the next four to five years hand-raising them. They started with milk, then formed social bonds with other orphaned rhinos, and eventually transitioned to grazing on their own.

This past week, conservationists confirmed something worth celebrating: all six of those rescued rhinos, now released back into the wild, have successfully given birth to their own calves. As Dumisani Zwane, manager of the veterinary unit, put it: "To have that conservation success story of them going back, living as wild rhinos, bonding with wild rhinos, and giving birth, it just completes us."
