Wildlife Photo Set: The Birds-of-Paradise Project Highlighted

0 Votes

For the first time in history, National Geographic photographer Tim Laman and Cornell Lab scientist Ed Scholes succeeded in taking photos of all the 39 species of fowls included in the list of bird-of-paradise family. The project took no more than 8 years in the making, and 18 expeditions to New Guinea, Australia, and nearby islands to complete, and everything proved to be worth of all risk.

These 39 birds-of-paradise included everything, from the smallest of birds to the largest of fowls, from different shades of feathers, either with or without plumes, from those who have mountain habitats to swamp territories, even from the simple branch dancers to some ballerina dancers. This project is the first to capture all 39 birds, with stills and clips.
