Thanks to everyone who submitted a photo to our winter nature photo contest. We’re so impressed! (View the whole album here.)
Below are the winning photographs–the ones that got the most “likes” on our Facebook page. (There was a three way tie for 5th place, hence the seven winners. And if you were lucky enough to have more than one photo posted, we only let you win once.) We’ve also included a couple staff picks. Winners will get a Science Friday pocket protector. Congratulations–and thanks for warming up our winter!

Great job Chuck Sutherland!
Kudos to all the winners and to everyone who entered! I enjoyed seeing this wonderful gallery with its great variety, and tried to comment on as many photos as I could manage. I also hit “Like” for several (wasn’t sure how that worked – maybe I was only supposed to “Like” one shot?). Thanks to those who viewed my own two entries.

ps I’m interested in the response to request for videos Ira made a few years ago. Is this project still going? I’d like to get animal behavior knowledge out of the laboratory, in collaboration with university scientists. Started on this path long ago by Professor B. F. Skinner, whose pigeons could nail both poker games and painting styles, and find that there’s still lots we can share.
