2017 24th Annual Photo Contest Winners!

Congratulations to this year’s photo contest winners!

The 2017 Best in Show image was taken by St. Augustine photographer Charles Wesley. This stunning photo of a preening Roseate spoonbill was captured with a Canon 7D Mk II camera, Canon EF 100-400 mm f/4.5-5.6 IS II lens and Canon 580 EX II flash.
