MEMBER CORNER
Welcome to the DuPage Birding Club Photo Gallery, featuring photographs from DBC birders. The Club periodically runs photo contests so check here for opportunities to showcase your images and see winning entries from prior contests. We encourage members to post their bird images to DBC social sites, accessible at https://dupagebirding.org/social-media/. Please note that you must have a Flickr account to post to the Club’s Flickr group.
In addition, check this page below for photos of Club members in the field and at our special events.
DuPage Birding Club’s Fall ’24 Photo Contest Now Open!
The DBC is looking for pictures of birds taken between September 1, 2024, and November 30, 2024. All photos are welcome: amateur, funny, imperfect, high-quality. The “story behind the shot” is taken into account when judging. The judges want this to be a fun contest; no categories have been predefined for award winners so every entry has a chance to win!
Note: the judges ask that you limit the number of photos entered to five or less. They usually do not give out more than one award to the same author if they submit multiple images.
The contest is open to DBC members only. Photos may be taken anywhere (not just DuPage/Illinois). If a picture includes people, the submitter must have permission from those people to publish their image on the DBC website. Photographs will be judged by a small team of DBC members.
There are two ways to enter your bird photographs:

Announcing DBC’s Summer 2024 Photography Contest Winners!
The winners of DBC’s Summer 2024 photo contest have been finalized! The entries were judged by Andie Duffy, Steve Constantelos, Natalie McFaul, Thelma Hulka and Mike Warner.
Because of the variety and quality of the submissions, the committee had a very tough time deciding on which pictures to recognize; the committee would like to thank all the photographers for their entries.
