Own a winner! Prints of my 2010 Wildlife in North Carolina Photograhy Contest winner are now availalbe. The image was made in the Rachel Carson Estuarine Reserve near Beaufort, NC March 24, 2010. A kayak was used as the shooting platform this image, allowing a stealthy, quiet and close approach to this migratory species on its way to its breeding grounds on the Tundra. The image was featured in the Janunary 2011 issue of Wildlife in North Carolina magazine, a publication of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. A print is also currently on display at the North Carolina Museum of Natural History in Raleigh.

Every year thousands of amatuer and professional photographers enter Wildlife in North Carolina magazine's annual photography contest. This year Fineart America photographer, Bob Decker, scored a second place in the extremely competitive Birds catatagory and an Honorable mention in for Animal Behavior. Winning images appear in the magazine's January 2011 issue and also hang in the Museum of Natural Science in Raliegh, North Carolina. Bob's winning image is of a Greater Yellowlegs, a migratory shorebird that passed through coastal North Carolina while traveling to and from it's northern breeding grounds. Bob's images often provide a unique perspective and are frequently shot in isolated natural environments accessible by only by kayak and similar craft. Bob resides along North Carolina's Crystal Coast and is a member of the Carolina Nature Photographers Association.
