Heather Wolf, author and bird photographer, to judge 2023 Birdathon photo contest
Heather Wolf, author of the forthcoming “Find More Birds,” will judge the 2023 Birdathon photo contest.
May 10, 2023 — An undisputed highlight of Connecticut Audubon’s Migration Madness Birdathon, scheduled for May 20 and 21, is the annual photo contest.
Each year, birders send us a selection of the best photos they took while participating in the Birdathon. We forward them to a judge — we don’t include names or time stamps, just the photos, so the judging is anonymous — who picks the winners.
This year we are lucky to have Heather Wolf as the photo contest judge. If you spend any time in Brooklyn (New York, that is, not Connecticut), you might know her as the ubiquitous photographer at Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Heather is the author and photographer of Birding at the Bridge: In Search of Every Bird on the Brooklyn Waterfront and the forthcoming Find More Birds: 111 Surprising Ways to Spot Birds Wherever You Are.
She also works as a programmer for the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, on projects such as eBird and BirdCast.
