    Congrats to Cozmic_Kid!

    The theme he picked was "Birds", they must be real live birds, but no other requirements.

    Quick run down of the rules:
    1) The photo must be taken between today (Feb 18th) and March 18th, one month.
    2) The photo must be uploaded to this thread, not linked.
    3) Please note if your photo is a sample you previously took or your entry, if you want to change your entry say so, I'll be putting the last one uploaded in the voting thread.

    Good luck!

    Do they have to be in the wild or can they be in captivity?

    The only requirement I set is that it should be alive. Doesn't matter if it's free or in captivity :)

    Well unless it's a picture of someone dodging a brick thrown at them I would say it is.

    I'd have palm trees and 'summer colors' in my background, so...I'm screwed! :p

    Awesome shots so far, I'm going to try getting some shots after class today!

    Not a particularly good frame, especially compared to Dave's, but there was a GBH at the wilderness park today so I took it's picture. 50mm lens probably wasn't ideal :p

    I don't think so. I see them regularly when I go to places with wetlands. That one is in an artificial concrete pond, which was kinda odd.

    Wow, some seriously talented photographers on here!!! I love the eagle and the one above it, as well as the great blue heron in fall colours. CMY's shot is fabulous, too!
