I am running behind with the March gallery, so please bear with me.
The judges are Walt Leonard, Rip Stalvey, and Tom Roebuck - all three very reputable judges. When the pictures are submitted to them, all names and identifying characteristics (farms names, etc) are removed, so they are judging just the birds.
Once they make their picks, then those birds are uploaded to our gallery.
For those of you who don't know, I have run into some health issues, which is causing some delays. Give me time, I always get caught back up.
