We also want to share several more entries to this contest that we really liked: the 16 honorable mention images. Thanks to everyone who submitted more than 825 bird photos to this contest!

"There are just a very few times during the year that the midshipman fish come into the Hood Canal in Washington, and at the same time at extreme tidal changes, the fish get caught in the tide pools/oyster beds," says Conrad Peloquin. "During this period, the eagles will fight for these prized fish." Conrad took the photo on May 25, 2021, near the town of Seabeck.
