It’s been a pleasure to receive your submissions from across Canada.

Category 3 – Birds:
Judy Mord of Timmins, ON takes the prize for this category. Judy’s photos show a variety of birds encountered during the count – from chickadees, to a Pine Grosbeak, to a Blue Jay passing a quiet moment in the trees.
Congratulations to our three winners! We hope you enjoy your prizes and join us for another fun CBC season next winter.
Thanks once again to all of the photo contest entrants. We look forward to sharing your photos with our fellow bird lovers across the country.
