Second Place-Arizona Highways Magazine's Photo Contest 2018-2019

Friday, May 17, 2019 was the day that I was informed by a photographer friend that I had won 2nd Place in the yearly photo contest for Arizona Highways Magazine!  

Another photographer friend, Peggy Coleman, who runs the Facebook page "Birding--Arizona and the Southwest" posted comments about the contest and my 2nd place win. 

"Oh, my EGRET!!  Tam Ryan has garnered 2nd place in the Anual Arizona Highways Magazine Photo Contest!  As many of you know, AHM is the premiere Magazine for Arizona as well as recognized and honored nationally.  Since it primarily celebrates the beauty (landscapes) of AZ to win 2nd Place for Wildlife is the supreme honor! Congratulations Tam Ryan! Here is the link to the winners page!"

I responded in comments: 

"Peggy, thank you for announcing this on your page!  I want to thank ALL of my local and non-local friends on this page and elsewhere who have been a great influence in my progress as a bird photographer.  There was a time when I didn't know the difference between a Great Egret and a Snowy Egret. As it happens, my photo of Great Egrets in an early morning mist was chosen.  Thank you, friends and Arizona Highways Magazine!
