Derrick Z. Jackson is a three-time finalist in BirdWatching Magazine’s photography contests, including a third-place finish in 2020.

Journeys Magazine, the Journal of Wildlife Management and used by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
Derrick’s puffin images are featured in Project Puffin: The Improbable Quest to Bring a Beloved Seabird Back to Egg Rock, published in 2015 by Yale University Press, and The Puffin Plan, published in 2020 by Tumblehome Books. The Puffin Plan won the 2021 Gold Award in Teen Nonfiction from the Independent Book Publishers Association. Jackson co-authored both books with Stephen Kress, the former director of National Audubon’s Seabird Restoration Program, who brought puffins back to islands of Maine where they had been absent for nearly a century.
