The DBC is looking for pictures of birds taken between September 1 and November 31, 2023 for the Fall ’23 Photo Contest. All photos are welcome: amateur, funny, imperfect, high-quality.

  The DBC’s Spring ’23 photo contest was a great success! The 20 entries were judged by John Hebert, Andie Duffy, Steve Constantelos, Natalie McFaul, and Mike Warner.
