From time to time I enter photos in contests. Earlier this year The Field Museum in Chicago had a photo contest for Members and I entered 9 photos.
It was thrilling to learn last week that 3 of my photos had received Honorable Mentions and will be displayed at the Museum in the Members’ Lounge beginning in December.
The three photos included:
– A Guanaco in Argentina (sorry that its not a bird)
– A Reddish Egret from Mexico
– Cobalt-winged Parakeets from Ecuador (first posted to Great Birds Pics in 2024)

Congratulations on the Honorable Mentions for your photos! Great to hear it is possible to win a photo contest.
Thanks, Mike!
Love this!
Thank you! It was so interesting to observe these parakeets at the clay lick.
