Denise Ippolito<\/a> for pitching in during the first rounds of image selection. We worked very hard for nearly three full days to get from more than 5500 images down to the final 163. <\/p>\nFrom the rules: Small in the Frame\/Environmental category: images of a bird or flocks of birds in their natural habitat. <\/p>\n
Before you vote, please sure to click on each image so that you can view it at full size. Then pick your five favorites and vote them 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 with 5 being your very favorite. Like this:<\/p>\n
Roseate Spoonbills squabbling: 5
\nSiskins fighting: 4
\nSnowy Egrets midair combat: 3
\nGreat Crested Grebe displaying: 2
\nCommon Tern feeding chick: 1<\/p>\n
The “Sample Vote” above is for illustrative purposes only. Please do not let the sample vote, the votes of others, or the names assigned to the images influence your vote. Please put each of your five favorites on its own line by hitting “enter” after each one. No ties; please assign a single digit, 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 to each of your five favorites. As you will see there are a great many dramatic images here. <\/p>\n
Please Note<\/h4>\n
If you wish to comment on any or all of the images, please do so below<\/em><\/strong> your five voting lines; this will make tallying the votes easier. Votes cast by those who fail to follow the formatting directions will be relegated to the Trash Bin. <\/p>\nThe voting will be closed in about two days and the actual winning images for this category will be posted soon thereafter. A tally of the public vote along with my analysis and comments will follow. <\/p>\n
Thanks for voting and please remember to breathe deeply and have fun. <\/p>\n
