For the Birds
Assignment Open From
May 12 - May 31, 2017
Spring is for the birds. And May 10 is World Migratory Bird Day.
Land birds, water birds, raptors, and song birds are on journeys that could even cross through your backyard.
Step outside with your camera and snap some feather-filled shots (a white pelican, right). Our editorial team will choose the best submissions based on appeal, composition, originality, and technical quality. A group of chosen pictures will be posted on this page, and one will even be featured.
We can consider a maximum of four photos per contributor. Get us your favorites.
