And now the Best in Show, originally in the Documentary Photo category, it was won by Tony Onorati. Congrats! And now for our sponsors !

This Adobe sponsored category, The Craft Awards, celebrates the best skills in photography. The judges loved two images so much in this category that Adobe generously gave two prizes.

The first image in best use of Composition is by Kevin Drake and the second by Brian Burk.

The next image is for best use of Time & Motion by Rita Silen.

The third category is best use of Light by Charity Feb.

Lastly the category is best use of Black & White by Kathy Radie.

As always, thank you again to our sponsors !

These are the winners for the Portlandia category, one of the most fun. Category Winner Todd Smith, Honorable Mention Marie Weisfish. Our sponsors are the best! !

There's only one winner in Documentary Photo, we will tell you why later -- it's a surprise! Winner Brian Burk. Thanks again to our sponsors !

🚨 Phew... is it just us, or is June ALREADY hitting hyper-drive? 🗓️✨

If you think our updates look packed, you should see the action items in our notes! From crowning the Red-winged Blackbird as our BirdFest & Bluegrass 2026 Bird of the Year 🦅 to bird-safe window workshops, photo contests, and a night out with the Ridgefield Raptors ⚾... there is so much happening at the Refuge right now.

In fact, we had so much news to squeeze into this month's newsletter that we didn't even have room to cover the recent Ribbon Cutting! ✂️🎉

But here’s the honest truth: We can't do it alone. We need your help! 🤝

We have some massive events coming up this month—like Big Paddle this Saturday, June 6th, and the Pollinator Festival on June 20th—and we are officially short-handed. Whether you want to lead a hike or just hang out and help us man a table downtown, we need folks to throw on their metaphorical "Friends Volunteer" hats and help us keep this beautiful place thriving! ⛰️🧢

Check out the full newsletter below to see how you can sign up to volunteer, get tickets to the ball game, or check out our brand-new Fledgling Photo Contest for the kids! 📸
