Information about the contest

This contest is modeled on the NCAA basketball tournament, but you – the readers – are able to vote on your favorite bird in a series of one-on-one matchups.

Anyone can vote. Those who filled out and submitted a bracket will be in the running to win the prize – a complete set of six Sibley Guides, all signed, and with a sketch of the winning bird drawn in the Sibley Guide to Birds, Second Edition.

Information about the bracket, announcements and links to new contests, and the results, will all be posted on my Facebook page, so check in there to be sure you don’t miss the next installment.

  1. I enjoy your pictures and illustrations very much. Trying to learn, at a senior age, more about birds and their patterns and habits. Thanks for sharing so much with us.

  2. Even though they are not nearly as abundant here, we do have pileated woodpeckers in our local national park. My favorite bird!
