Was cleaning out the inbox and totally missed this one. And let me take this opportunity to that everyone who sent in squirrels, hawks, turkeys, turtles, foxes, eagles, owls, vultures, herons, fish, snakes, rabbits and more. If there’s one thing I can say positively about 2020 it’s that we had an awesome awesome year of wildlife photos. Thanks again for taking the time to send them in. Looking forward to seeing what you all find in 2021.
