You don’t need to be an avid bird-watcher to appreciate the winners of the 2019 Audobon Photography Awards. The grand-prize winning photograph shows a humble blackbird in a moment of quiet beauty. On the other side of the spectrum is a perfectly-timed action photo of a bald eagle tussling with a red fox.

The National Audubon Society is one of the oldest nonprofit organizations in the world dedicated to conservation. If any of these photos pique your interest in bird-watching, check out the organization’s website at the link below or visit its Instagram at @audubonsociety.
