The Nicola Naturalists wrapped up their AGM on 20 September with a members’ photo show and contest. Seven members submitted 29 photos which were judged by the members present at the meeting.
The winner is this unusual photo of a Great Gray Owl taken by Jack Madryga. According to Jack the owl had just been hunting and had its wings drooped either to rest them or to cool itself down. Congrats on a great photo, Jack!
