Birds Of A Feather, Photograph Together
The 2017 Audubon Photography Awards are in, and the winners are a real hoot.
Photography—it’s not just for the birds!
Earlier this month, the Audubon Society announced the winners of their annual Photography Awards. The results are a stunning display of birds and bird behavior, from baby oystercatchers to battling bald eagles to a very hungry puffin.
You should check out the rest of the best over on the Audubon Society’s site, but we’ve compiled some our favorites for your…er…birdwatching pleasure.
