It's time for the Photo of the Year. As usual, I'm the only one allowed to enter and the prize is an all-expense paid trip to Keokuk, Iowa to chase eagles, which I hope to do sometime in the next few weeks.
Previous POY have something in common; with the exception of one unfortunate fish in a supporting role, birds are the subjects. Although I was tempted to award the POY this year to the mountain bluebird from May, I decided to go mammal this year with a Rocky Mountain Bighorn from December. There are some leaping bighorns from this same sequence, but I decided to go with the portrait.
Here are my POY selections for 2002-2008.
