You rocked the birds category in 2015, Jim! Congrats, your Broad-billed Hummingbird has made the top 10 bird spottings in the '2015 Best Wildlife Photo' mission! Rangers are voting on the top 10 bird spottings, and the top 3 will be announced on February 1st. The top 3 spottings will be commented on here on the site, but make sure you keep a look out on our Facebook app page for the announcement as well! Congratulations on making the top 10! https://www.facebook.com/projectnoah
Thanks all...hummers are a challenge to photograph, and I treasure the few that are 'keepers'.
