The New BirdSpotter Photo Contest

A tranquil setting combined with dramatic color variations made this past BirdSpotter winning photo of a Blue Grosbeak a favorite (photo by Mike Timmons).

Every birder is invited to submit their best bird photo to compete for prizes worth hundreds of dollars in the new BirdSpotter Photo Contest, now through February 5th. Sponsored by Wild Birds Unlimited and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, members of their staff will select 10 finalist bird photographs, which will be posted on the BirdSpotter Voting webpage for birders to vote for their favorite finalists. Online voting will continue from February 13 to March 12, and winners will be announced shortly thereafter. Each birder is invited to enter a single photo, so pick your best.

Wild Birds Unlimited (WBU) and The Cornell Lab will award the following prizes, based on the voting results: First Place, a $300 WBU gift certificate, Second Place, a $200 WBU gift certificate, Third Place, a $100 Wild Birds Unlimited gift certificate; plus each of the photographers who took the 10 finalist bird photos will be invited to choose one Bird Academy online course Free of charge.
