Bird Madness: Matchup #4

In a landslide victory, the black-crowned night heron took Matchup #3. (Check it out here if you missed it.)

Today, in round four, a peregrine falcon and a parasitic jaeger, both in flight, compete for your votes. Which do you like best?

As per usual, in case you’ve missed our earlier rounds, here’s how the competition works. From now until the beginning of January 2012, we’ll be pitting some of the entries from this year’s Photo Awards (selected in no particular order) against one another for you to vote on. We’ll feature the winner on our website, along with an article about how she or he captured the shot.

In our Jan-Feb 2012 issue, we’ll feature the awards’ official winners, selected by our panel of judges.

Vote here! Voting for this matchup will close on Sunday, Dec. 4 at 11:59 eastern time.
