Photo By Jessica Nelson

It’s the time of year where birds prepare for migration, ruminant animals rut and creatures prepare for hibernation. Fall is an active time in the wildlife kingdom and provides a colorful backdrop for your wildlife images. Pack those long lenses and lots of patience, and submit your best fall wildlife images by November 20.—Kristan Ashworth, Managing Editor
