What Are You Looking At? Eleven In-Your-Face Bird Photos

More spectacular shots from our 2017 约炮视频 Photography Awards.

Every year our 约炮视频 Photography Awards produce a wealth of incredible images鈥攁nd 2017 was no exception. In addition to this year's APA winners, we've already highlighted our usual gallery of the Top 100 photos, as well as a round-up of the more interesting bird behaviors this year's participants captured. If you haven't checked them out yet, you definitely should. 

But as we go through the thousands of submissions each year, common themes also emerge. These related photos don't necessarily capture a rare moment or even need explanation, but they make us smile nonetheless. We had several such themes pop up this year, including this collection of close-up bird shots. They made us laugh, so we thought we'd share. Hopefully you find them as entertaining as we did. Enjoy!
