Bird lovers (or photography lovers): Vote for your favorite photos! You can vote once each week during April.

See our Photo Contest page on Facebook to submit photos, view photos and vote.

The four winners (one each week) will receive a Golden Gate Bird Alliance baseball cap, an 11×14 color print of their winning photo from Ritz Camera in Rockridge, a $50 Snapfish gift certificate, and recognition at our Birdathon award dinner on May 10th.
