Order up! If you think French fries are fast food, you should see how fast-moving some of the meals our wildlife friends enjoy are. Even if the meal itself is slow, many animals have to be fast to outrun predators and beat their competitors to the buffet.

Here are five wildlife “diners” who are snagging a quick meal from past years of our Picture This: Your Great Outdoors. If you have a great photo of wildlife chowing down, the contest will open up for submissions in early summer 2018. Bon Appetit!

Knock, knock! Anybody home? We’ll spare you the punny knock-knock jokes, but you won’t want to miss out on the Birdhouse Sale happening now in the Audubon Shop!

The entire month of February, Mass Audubon members receive 20% off birdhouses (aka nest boxes) in the Audubon Shop. This sale is in-store only, so be sure to drop by the shop at Drumlin Farm in Lincoln before March 1, 2018.

In the meantime, enjoy these five photos of birds who have made themselves at home in some lovely neighborhood nest boxes, courtesy of our Picture This: Your Great Outdoors photo contest.
