Speaking of the BIF contest, it didn’t take long before entries started to fly in – gurineb, the winner of our Obscured Bird contest, posted the first entry at 7 AM! Here’s her shot of a Great Blue Heron flying by.
Before our contest started members submitted some great shots like this one of a male Hooded Merganser – with a bit of reflection (hmmm – future contest topic?). Good one Birder2011!
Canvasbacks are one of my favorite waterfowl species. They are uncommon around here but when they show up I love to observe them. Mikeaff must have gotten pretty close to this one (the ones I see are usually on the other side of the lake). Great detail of a beautiful bird!
I’ll give an “honorable mention” to this shot by Kaur of a Pileated Woodpecker flying off. Too bad it came in before the contest started – let’s hope Kaur has more BIF shots to share with us.
