This photo may be in the public domain by abandonment. This would happen when an otherwise copyright item has been widely re-distributed for a long time, and the copyright owner does nothing about it. This photo was taken by a professional wildlife photographer who should have a basic understanding of the rules. He uploaded the photo himself. Is there any record of his complaining about its general use?
Yes. To us. Ask the foundation for details.
IIRC he didn't upload it himself; he sent us a polite takedown notice in about May 2006, which we complied with.
