In honor of January, the first month, the theme of the contest is... one. One. Singular. Only. Alone. The variety of photos submitted well illustrates the imagination of our photographers. Well done!

Voting for preliminaries is complete, and the top three vote-getters in each of the two threads are listed below.

Finals voting will be open through Monday evening 2100 ET, January 18, 2016, and the winner announced. The winner, in addition to receiving our appreciation and a hearty thank you for a job well done, will host the February contest.

The 6 finalists are, in random order:

Lone Tree In The Fog


Oneness


No Company But The Wind

I know you were, but the bird doesn't mind. Solly Mack Jan 2016 #14
Okay then. It's a beautiful pic, but this past year I've been pissed off at the cardinals valerief Jan 2016 #15
Yeah, they do that. They can't see the glass. A decal of a predator bird will stop that. Solly Mack Jan 2016 #16
I'll have to do something like that, although the idea of eagles on my windows is valerief Jan 2016 #17
lol! Most any decal should work. That way they know not to fly in that direction. Solly Mack Jan 2016 #19
That's right! I don't want dead birdies on my property. I like listening to them valerief Jan 2016 #20
