Take the Flights of Fancy Challenge

Written by Kristi Tuesday, 04 January 2011 16:23

The Celebrate Urban Birds Project at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology invites you to submit photos, artwork, video and other types of entries showcasing flying birds for its Flights of Fancy contest.

"Go outside and capture the wonder of flight," said Karen Purcell, Celebrate Urban Birds Project leader. "Notice the way birds take off from a branch, fly in flocks, hover, dive, frolic and land."

Share your observations of bird flight by submitting a photo, create a dance, do some artwork, shoot video, write a story or poem, or create a sculpture. Entries will be featured on the Celebrate Urban Birds web site.

Winners will receive prizes that include bird feeders, nest boxes, sound CDs, guides, posters, and a copy of the Bird Songs Bible. Deadline for entries is Feb. 1. E-mail your entry to urbanbirds@cornell.edu. In the subject line write Flight, your first and last name, city and state. In the e-mail, you must include your name, mailing address and location where photos were taken and state why you submitted your entry.
