Conservation bird photographer. Wild birds, the places they live, and the communities that protect them. Prints at store.rainoff.com.

Adam Rainoff Photographer is a conservation bird photography studio based in Southern California, near Los Angeles, working in wild places around the world. I photograph birds in wild forests alongside local conservation partners, then give those images and short contextual videos to the partners at no cost, always with the location named, so the places stay wild and valued. I have photographed 454 bird species, and 227 of them are declining in population. My short videos and photographs reach millions of viewers on social media, putting these birds and the communities that protect them in front of a global audience.

Licensing: local lodges, guides and community projects in the places I photograph can license images of their place free of charge, with the location named. For all other licensing requests, email [email protected].

Fine-art prints of my bird photography are available at store.rainoff.com. Every bird photograph on rainoff.com comes with the story of the place where it was taken.

Crimson-headed Partridges on the forest floor at the Trusmadi Hide in Sabah, Borneo 🇲🇾

This partridge lives only in Borneo's hill and mountain forests, and it's usually a shy bird that slips away through the undergrowth. Watching a small group walk past the mossy logs and forage in the leaf litter was a rare treat. Stay to the end for a surprise guest: a little squirrel pops up for a look.

Places like Trusmadi keep these birds out in the open for us to see. Protecting Borneo's montane forest is how we keep them there.

Crimson-headed Partridge, Tambunan, Sabah, Borneo 🇲🇾

At the Trusmadi hide near Gunung Alab, the forest floor went quiet, and then this partridge walked out across the moss. This shy ground bird lives only in Borneo's mountain forests. It's heard far more often than it's seen, so a clear look like this is a real gift.

Its whole world is that damp, mossy montane forest. Every hide like this one helps keep that world standing, and lets people see what's at stake.

Shot at 1/90 sec, f/11, ISO 3200 in the low forest light.

Heading back from the Trusmadi hide, run by Mr. KK Lee. 🦜

The best part is how close it is. The hide is only a few minutes outside Kota Kinabalu in Malaysian Borneo, so you can be among rainforest birds in no time. 🌴

More photos from Borneo coming soon.

This Rose-ringed Parakeet (Psittacula krameri) was photographed in Sanjay Van, a protected urban forest in south Delhi, India. It settled on a slanting twig in the shade of the canopy, its coral beak and fine rose collar standing out against the green.

Rose-ringed Parakeets nest in tree holes and old masonry, which is why they do so well in Delhi, a city full of ancient walls and big old trees. Most mornings, flocks streak across the canopy in flashes of green, calling as they go.

This one is a new species for my list, found in a forest in the middle of the city. Sanjay Van is proof that you don't always have to travel far to find something new.

The Global Wildlife Fair returns to New Delhi on 22–24 October 2027, bringing wildlife lovers, photographers and conservationists together in the city. Details: https://www.globalwildlifefair.com

This House Crow (Corvus splendens) was photographed in Sanjay Van, a protected urban forest in south Delhi, India. It stood upright on a sloping branch above a fallen log, its grey hood and dark, glossy wings set against the green of the woodland.

Anyone who has spent a morning in an Indian city knows the House Crow's harsh "kaaw-kaaw" call. In the evening they gather to roost together in tall trees, often right above busy streets, before scattering again at first light to forage around markets and homes.

Most visitors to Delhi never see the city's wild side. Sanjay Van is the place to find it: a forest in the middle of the city where this crow shares the trees with Jungle Babblers and other woodland birds, minutes from traffic.

Throwback to one of my favorite gear tests: 642 images in one minute with my Canon R5 and Delkin memory cards.

When a flock lifts off or a hummingbird hovers for half a second, the card is what decides whether you keep shooting or sit waiting for the buffer. That's why I trust Delkin cards in the field.

This Jungle Babbler (Argya striata) was photographed in Sanjay Van, a protected urban forest in south Delhi, India. It was standing alone on a weathered stump, with soft grey plumage, a pale yellow bill and a cream-colored eye.

Seeing one alone is unusual. Jungle Babblers travel in noisy family groups of about seven to ten, turning over leaves for insects together, preening one another and gathering to scold snakes and hawks until they leave. This one sat quiet and focused while the rest of its family chattered somewhere in the undergrowth.

Delhi will host the Global Wildlife Fair on 22–24 Oct 2027. If you come for it, set aside a morning for Sanjay Van. The babblers are easy to find, because you just follow the noise.

This webinar was presented on behalf of the Global Wildlife Fair — a look at the forests, rivers, and birds that still define wild Honduras.

From the keel-billed toucan to the scarlet macaw, these landscapes hold species that depend on habitat that is disappearing faster than most people realize.

The work is not only about beautiful images.
It is about paying attention while there is still time.
