Show Off Your Best Shot! Enter Our Monthly Photo Contest

Our monthly themed contest encourages you to share your wild bird photos, whether they are captured with your phone or a fancy camera! Each month we will share a theme to spark your creativity, and we invite you to share the wild bird moments in nature that inspire you. Every wild bird photo you submit (up to 10 per month) will be entered into a random draw for a $50 WBU gift card.

There’s no judging for the ‘best’ photo, every submission has an equal chance to win! Best of all, your photos get a chance to shine! We hope to share many of them on social media pages and events to celebrate the wild birds that bring our community together!


February's Theme: Love at First Chirp!

February is the month of love, and we want to see moments that capture:

💘🐦Sweet moments between birds: courting, cuddling, or simply enjoying each other’s company.

🥰 Those heart-melting “aww” moments that make you fall in love with birds all over again.

💖 Your own love for our feathered friends, the joy, wonder, and fun they bring to your backyard or adventures.

We want to see the full spectrum of love! From bird couples to funny interactions, from tiny gestures to big personalities. Any photo that makes your heart flutter counts!

NEW this month, you have an opportunity to share a few notes about the photos. We will be sure to showcase these short love stories in our weekly Photo Feature Friday posts.

As always, no judging, each photo is a chance to win a $50 gift card at the end of the month.
