Another Award

While attending the WPOY awards in London this week. I found out yesterday that my "other" image of a Bald Eagle chasing a Starling http://www.falconphotos.com/Birds-of-Prey/Eagles/Bald-Eagles/7730015_jcXHK#490705863_oa82b
won the National Wildlife Magazine Grand Prize for 2009. This has been a very good week. Especially compared to last week where my father, Leonard W. Palmer passed away on Friday morning. I hope he is watching from above!

Wildlife Photographer of the Year

Just spent the last two days in London at the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards. What a pleasure it has been speaking with so many of my peers at this event and the photos were outstanding in all categories. It is a great pleasure being able to share in this event. My photo (Bald Eagle and Blackbird) won the Bird Behaviour category which is a great honor and I am now even more psyched to continue with my passion.

Wildlife Photographer of the Year

Today is the day I find out if I won the Grand Prize for my image of the Bald Eagle and the Blackbird. It already won the bird behavior category but has a chance for the Grand Prize. Wish me luck!
