The National Audubon Society is an American non-profit organization that is dedicated to the protection of birds and to environmental conservation. Every year, it hosts the Audubon Photography Awards that allows photographers from across the United States and seven Canadian provinces to present their best bird photographs. In its 11th year now, this contest gives us an opportunity to marvel at the winged wonders of the world that inhabit our planet.
Recently, the winners of the 2021 Audubon Photography Awards were announced. Caroline Fraser, with her stunning shot of a greater roadrunner captured in Texas, was awarded the Grand Prize winner.
