Additional rules:

1. Wild birds. Not caged or captured birds.
2. The bird must be seen to be feeding naturally in nature. That is, not from any artificial man made feeders in the backyard but perhaps a fruit from a tree or corn in the field or fish from a waterbody etc etc.
3. No nesting images please where the parents are shown feeding the chicks.
4. 800 pixles min on long side so we can see your great work.
5. Voters, please view full size for any image that you vote for and make image quality a high priority. I suggest slideshow full screen and do not enlarge images. This is a fast way to see the orginal size and to vote.
Novelty is not the same as quality.
