AUWe’re excited to announce our latest #AudubonTakeover this week featuring the beautiful videography of Nathan Clark (@nathanclarkwildlife)—who earned the Video Honorable Mention in the 2025 Audubon Photography Awards United States and Canada contest!
Nathan is a wildlife photographer and cinematographer with a passion for wildlife and conservation. He hopes that his cinematography inspires a greater appreciation of the amazing beauty, astonishing behaviors in the animal kingdom and a desire to better understand and preserve the natural world.
This week, we’ll be sharing Nathan’s videos of a Great Gray Owl family—the very one in his Video Honorable Mention—that he has been able to watch for four years. He notes that this large owl is a resident of the Boreal Forest and faces challenges with loss of old growth forest habitat and the impacts of climate change.
The mother owl spent about thirty days incubating two eggs. After a month of faithfully sitting, rain or shine on this uncomfortable looking nest snag, two tiny, helpless owlets hatched as seen here. For the next month after that, this mother sheltered and cared for the owlets as they grew into robust little owls. Their successful breeding was Nathan’s top priority—he filmed them using long telephoto lenses, always keeping quiet and avoiding any fast movements.
Stay tuned this week to learn more about this owl family’s story as told by @nathanclarkwildlife.
