Birds in Your Backyard

Assignment Open From
Mar 18 - May 4, 2020
One of the sweet signs of spring are the birds in your backyard.
Song birds, land birds, water birds, and raptors (right, a red-tailed hawk) flit, fly, and even stop by as they get set for the season. Step outside with your camera, snap some feather-filled shots, and share them with us. It’s a great activity you can do at home while social distancing.
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.
