Elegance!

A gray crowned-crane walked out of the shadows of the surrounding trees and into the spotlight of the sun. Its beautiful golden crown, red and white cheek patch, and deep blue eyes stunningly contrasted by the dark background, as well as its shaded silvery grey and white plumage and dark red wattle.

About Artist

Thomas DeLiberto

My name is Tom DeLiberto and I have been a wildlife ecologist and veterinarian for over 30 years. I’ve studied the nutritional ecology of wildlife, their interactions with people, and the health of wild species and their environments. I hold a B.S. in Wildlife Biology, a M.S in Wildlife Management, a Ph.D. in Rangeland Ecology and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to study wild animals in their natural ecosystems and in rural, suburban, and urban environments around the world. This has given me the opportunity to photograph wildlife and their habitats, while also learning about their biologies and behaviors. I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the natural world and its importance for human well-being. My desire is to help others see and appreciate the wonders of our natural ecosystems, our role in preserving them, and how we can coexist with native wildlife and plants.
