2012 AUDUBON MAGAZINE PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS
Grand Prize Winner
This male northern flicker was the perfect subject for Alice Cahill, a docent at the state park where the bird took up residence. Sitting in front of the tree for hours, 64-year-old Cahill—who started photographing birds only this year—steadied her camera when she saw the male peek out. Putting it on rapid fire, she captured its salmon-colored wings mid-flight. “It was extremely exciting to observe these birds,” she says. I always have a northern flicker on my deck when we have heavy snowfalls and only then.
