March's Winning Photo: Wonderful Wildlife Congratulations to Dennis Swayze of Winnipeg, MB for receiving the most votes in the “By Popular Vote” monthly photo contest! “As I sat and watched this fellow for close to an hour in hopes of a possible lift off from his perch...with tired arms, I dropped the camera down for mere seconds only to have him come off the perch when I wasn't ready. Definitely and exciting moment as he glided in towards his prey.” Thank you Dennis for your story and this amazing moment. |
