I always look forward to this topic at the end of the year. Me too Darryl! Your contribution is absolutely wonderful! Great strong images showing these guys in the environment
Super set of excellent imagery Mike, especially the owl and snake
Ah Henrik, you decided to grace us with your presence Super set my friend, I was going to go on about the first shot, then I saw the second and then I saw the last. Also knowing that these are all truly WILD, you get extra points!!!

So AWESOME of you Tim to host this year "Best of ...". Thank you very much for all your efforts and dedications to the forum!

Love the 3-images format. It's still not easy for me to pick the top three that I like.

This forum has so much talented Nature & Wildlife photographers. All the pictures in this thread are top-top-notch!

Below are my humble 3 images to share with the group. As always, thanks so much for looking.

Come one come all, round 2 is open for THREE, more of your best or favorite images from this year. This has been a superb post so far, lets keep it going!!!

To be fair to your fellow forum mates, please limit the post to three images. I know YOU are special but we ALL have way more than 3 additional that we would like to post.

Here are my next 3 entries to this amazing thread.
The first is from Haines and is another from the last day I was there during the beautiful early light. Nothing beats watching these eagles bank in right in front of you to land on a fresh Chum salmon.
The second is from April at Swan Haven on Marsh Lake about 20min outside of Whitehorse. Every April about 1200 Trumpeters and 800 Tundra swans stop by this area as it is shallow and unfrozen early. A good place to rest, feed and get their photo taken
The last is a juvenile bald eagle in some nice rim light again from some very early light just coming over the mountains and shot close to town in Whitehorse. I liked how it made the wings glow.

This is some rarified air here.

I'm not even going to try to put out any specific examples - way to difficult. Applause to everyone ...


#1 Pink Primrose. So this is different from me. They grow like weeds. I got nothing against flowers, except usually they don't move

#2 Geese on the wing. These were taken January 12 so that counts

#3 Finally, Egyptian Owl, Captive bird. I put this one up before but I kinda like it.
