Selections From the 2025 Audubon Photography Awards Top 100 - Contest organizers from this year’s Audubon Photography Awards shared some of their Top 100 selections—featuring a Ringed kingfisher, a Yellow-eared parrot, Whooper swans, and more. Gift link: www.theatlantic.com/photography/...

The blue head and back, snowy white neck, and rusty red upper chest of a kingfisher fills the right half of the frame. (Matías Antonio Cortés Calderón / 2025 Audubon Photography Awards)

A parrot with lime green plumage and bright yellow cheeks flies with wings outstretched toward its nest in a dead wax palm tree. The parrot holds its legs straight in front of its body, and its mate’s toes peek out at the mouth of the cavity. (León Felipe Jimenez / 2025 Audubon Photography Awards)

The setting sun looms huge, a gradient of orange and yellow, between two large rocks at the edge of the ocean with seabirds flying above. (Álvaro Tapia González / 2025 Audubon Photography Awards)

A flock of swans swims toward the camera, all of their heads up and alert. (Yoshiki Nakamura / 2025 Audubon Photography Awards)
