Ok, here are the criteria for the 2012 Wildlife Calendar submissions.  Remember, we are looking for Non-Peregrine photos.

4. Image size should be 2200 x 1700 pixels (11 x 8.5 ratio).

Can you please clarify the orientation (portrait or landscape)...is 2200 height or width?

Good question, Patti.  We will need "landscape" (2200 width) orientation.  Thanks!

Gee, I don't know what all this is, I point and shoot. How would I know if it's 2200 width? I tried Paint Shop Pro to do my pixels but not sure if the pic is worthy. Will Lou be the judge if the pic meets the criteria? I'm sure a lot of us here are not pixel privy! Is there a sure way to know before we send if it's eligible?

From one end of Alberta to the other, and from the eastern edge of the Prairies to the Rocky Mountains and beyond, peregrines are making a comeback to levels not seen for almost a half-century.]

I took this pic of the dark sky behind the power plant at KP tonight. Creepy!

  Here's the larger version. Awesome pic MAK!

My hubby saw this and said, "No wonder it's lying down.  It's a long walk from Africa!"   

  Good one hubby!!

Hard to tell sometimes at that distance! Miss Harlie!  Glad to see Q and K at times!

Wish is was Miss Harlie as we all miss Harlie.

 

Not sure who...some views it looks like Quest, others it looks like Kendal...

Mike and I got to see Legs, our third bird from 101 Hudson.  Here is the link.

Yikes! The singing face is almost as scary as Michael's.

Yeah but the singing pumpkin's nose fell off! 

And got run over by that passing car.

Oh, you mean the car that didn't stop to look??

Yikes! The singing face is almost as scary as Michael's.
