GBI Media Contest August 2024 Submissions

GBI Media Contest August 2024 Submissions

In August, we challenged our field personnel to capture “The Golden Glow,” however they might interpret it. As usual, they came through magnificently, as the gallery below demonstrates. Our winning submission, topping this page, comes from Research Associate Amandine Barre who is serving as biological technician at Camas National Wildlife Refuge. It shows, in Amandine’s words, “sunshine brewed into the storm.”
