I love all the choices so far. Easy to see why they are favorites. Often they are not the best photo of the year but special for their own reason.

This one is at the top of my list. The mother & daughter pair of Pileated Woodpeckers. It is a nice shot....but I like it because I spotted them out while I was taking a walk and they didn't seem to notice me at all. So I got to watch them and take lots of shots of them just doing what they do.
