Wildlife photographer Peter Christoph presents award-winning images and photographic secrets when you travel with him virtually to a typical New England swamp. Enjoy an intimate look at the many varieties of birds that inhabit our swamps, including ospreys and herons, shorebirds, woodpeckers, and other cavity dwellers. Sloshing and crawling through the swamp so you don’t have to, Peter captures many of the birds’ activities such as building nests, feeding young, and catching prey.
