Donald Chin, Rhythm of Survival (ANIMAL & NATURE 2025)

The Sacred Kingfisher is a hunter of precision, a flash of turquoise wings striking with flawless timing. From lizards to insects, even the most dangerous prey is subdued with courage and skill. Yet every catch carries a deeper purpose—the nourishment of its young, waiting within the safety of a hollow tree. Tirelessly it hunts, flying back and forth between branch and nest, embodying both predator and provider. In this cycle of power, devotion, and grace, the kingfisher’s story is written in the wild’s eternal rhythm of survival.
