Richard Wong's avian waterfowl bird photographs are displayed here in this gallery. The pictures capture a glimpse into the lives of these magnificient birds. Not static creatures by nature, Richard's photos strive to show the behavioral movements and uniqueness of the species. Most of these photos were taken in the winter, where California hosts millions of wintering migrating birds as part of the Pacific Flyway ecosystem. All images are available as rights-managed stock photography image licensingand as fine art prints. Contact Richard by email: Richard@rwongphoto.com or by phone: (626) 422-6151 if there is an image you need not posted in any gallery on this website, as Richard has over 50,000+ images in his collection. Richard is also available for editorial and commercial photography assignments should you be looking to hire a photographer.
