We are excited to announce that our 2019 Jack Pine Warbler Cover Photo Contest winner is Josh Haas with Canada Warbler on Hoary Puccoon photographed at Warren Dunes State Park in Sawyer, Michigan.
Josh is the president of Battle Creek Brigham Audubon and co-owner of Glances at Nature Photography and Birding Tours. Both have expanded his love for teaching others and sharing what he loves about the natural world. Josh’s passion in all things birds is seen in his bird photography and his DVD, “Hawks on the Wing,” an innovative new way to learn hawk ID in flight. To view more of Josh’s photography and teaching tools, visit www.glancesatnature.com and www.hawksonthewing.com.
This photo is the second time that one of Josh’s submissions to a JPW Cover Photo Contest has been featured on the cover of the publication.
