23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
A bird far from the nest
This is not a story of suffering; it is a story of truth. The truth is that in nature, survival is not always beautiful and heroic. Sometimes it happens quietly, sometimes quietly, and sometimes silently. This image is an invitation to pause—to see the lives that are so small that they are often overlooked, but are worth seeing.
