Bird Madness: Matchup #6

Ready for the next matchup? The Eurasian roller won the most recent vote in a huge victory.

Today, we’ve got a red-shouldered hawk and an American ketrel vying for your attention. Show them some love and pick your favorite. It just takes a click to vote.

For anyone new to our game, for the next month or so, we’ll be putting two entries from this year’s Audubon Magazine Photo Awards head to head in a which-is-best photo competition. The ultimate winner of Bird Madness will appear on our website, along with a story about how he or she captured the shot. Our Jan-Feb 2012 issue will feature the awards’ official winners, selected by our panel of judges.

Vote here! Voting for this matchup will close on Sunday, Dec. 11 at 11:59 eastern time. The next round starts on Monday.
