In short, I am proud to announce that Steven Bird Photography has been awarded the Best of Tampa Award in the photographer category!! Also, read this post to see which Spoonbill image was published in Ranger Rick Jr. this Summer.

That is right, it is the first time I receive a recognition of this kind 🙂 It only took 10 years of work! Per the Tampa Award Program, they recognize the companies that exemplify the best of small business.

It is always very pleasing when a high visibility magazine reaches out to you for a publication! The image above depicts two newly fledged Spoonbills feeding side by side.
