Three Vancouver Idland photographers had top-three finishes in the BC SPCA’s 2020 Wildlife-in-Focus photography contest.
The featured categories were Backyard Habitats, which highlighted the special relationship with wild animals and backyards, and Wild Settings, which featured animals in their natural habitats. More than 956 photos were submitted province wide.
D. Ross Fisher, a Campbell River photographer submitted a photo of a baby robin being fed by its mother. That photo was selected for second place in the Backyard Habitats category by judges.
Sandy Stirling, Nanoose Bay, took third place for the Backyard Habitat category with her photo of a tree frog.
Deborah Freeman, Nanoose Bay, took third in the Wild Settings category with her photo of a mink.
Winner’s photos will appear on greeting cards that will soon be available through the BC SPCA’s online store.
