BIRD PORTRAIT PHOTO CONTEST

In late 2020, we conducted our second annual Bird Portrait photo contest at BirdWatchingDaily.com. We received more than 700 entries — images of wading birds, owls, hummingbirds, ducks, and passerines, among others.

Thanks to everyone who entered! To see all of the finalists and honorable mention.
