Monthly Photo Contest

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’ll share a theme to spark your creativity and invite you to share the wild bird moments that inspire you.

Every wild bird photo you submit — up to 10 per month — will be entered into a random draw for a $50 Wild Birds Unlimited gift card. There’s no judging for the “best” photo — every submission has an equal chance to win.

Best of all, your photos may be featured on our social media pages and at future events as we celebrate the wild birds that bring our community together.


September A Fond Farewell Photo Contest

September’s Theme: A Fond Farewell! πŸ‚πŸ¦πŸ‘‹

As the days get shorter, many of our feathered friends begin heading south, making September a month of goodbyes in the bird world.

Maybe it’s one of those confusing fall warblers, an exciting shorebird that stops by for far too short a visit, a favourite cottage bird like a loon or heron, or a hummingbird grabbing one last sip before heading south.

This is your chance to get outside and snap one last shot before they go!

And to our year-round backyard favourites, don’t worry. We love you too — but we’ll have MONTHS to photograph you! πŸ˜‚

Let’s give our departing birds A Fond Farewell! πŸ’›
