I am pleased to announce that I received an honorable mention in the 2009 National Wildlife Refuge Association's Photography Contest! As one of 15 honorable mention winners, my image will be highlighted on the website, http://www.refugeassociation.org. My image titled "The Crossing" was taken at Chincoteague Wildlife Refuge on Virginia's Eastern Shore.A note from Evan Hirsche, President National Wildlife Refuge Association:
