The winner of this year’s photography contest held by the National Audubon Society have been announced. More than half the species in the winning and honors list are considered threatened or endangered by the effects of climate change. The fact that every month this year has been the hottest on record does not bode well for these birds.
We have selected a handful of the best photographs from the contest. Let us appreciate their beauty before many of them are lost forever.
