2nd place
by Leonard Jellicoe

About Leonard: Growing up in Northern Alberta in the 1950′s, Len spent much of his formative years in the outdoors.  This led to an early appreciation for nature.  Len decided to take up photography as a hobby 5 years ago as he found he was so good at golf no one would play with him.  (Just kidding). Being retired it provided an opportunity to keep occupied and an excuse to travel.  It also offered an opportunity to combine his passion of bird watching with the camera.

Len is a member of the BC Field Ornithologists and Abbotsford Camera Club (APAC).  Many birders record a list of all their sightings while my goal is capture as many species as possible and enter them on my website.  They can be viewed at: lenjellicoe.zenfolio.com

A blog of a photographic journey through Western Canada taken during the summer of 2012 can also be viewed here: lenanddiansadventures.blogspot.ca

The portrait of the eagle was taken at the FV Eagle Festival of 2009.
