Piece description from the artist
This is part 2 of a three-part series by wildlife photographer Brett Cook, which offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of a Crested Caracara family, nestled among the giant saguaros of the Sonoran Desert. From the dramatic moment an adult arrives with food, to the tender act of feeding hungry chicks, and finally, the parent’s quiet exit with a hard-earned morsel, each image reveals a different layer of raptor behavior. Rich with detail, emotion, and natural light, these portraits celebrate the devotion, rhythm, and resilience of life in the desert.
Brett grew up in the Pacific Northwest and spent his free time hiking, back-packing and caving during time off from his job as an electrical engineer.
This gave him an opportunity to explore and experience the undeveloped beauty of the wilderness, both above and under the ground.
Brett carried a small point and shoot camera in his pack to capture the raw beauty of the areas he visited and shared those images with others. He sharing sharing images that helped others appreciate the natural world and feel a sense of awe.
Beauty comes in many forms, from the lush, glacier-carved valleys of the Pacific Northwest, to the scrub-thorn ruggedness of the Southwest. Each has its unique character and attraction.
