The Southwestern Center for Herpetological Research (SWCHR) is pleased to announce that John Williams' photograph of a Rio Grande Chirping Frog (Eleutherodactylus cystignathoides campi ) taken in Polk County, Texas has been selected as our Photo of the Month for October, 2009. You may click here to view his winning image.
Our congratulations to John for winning Photo of the Month for October. It should also be noted that the specimen in John's photograph is believed to represent new county record for this species.
This is John's second photo to achieve Photo of the Month status so far this year. Having just one of his images selected this year as a Photo of the Month earns him a cash award of $25.00 and automatically qualifies him as a nominee in the competition for our 2009 Award for Excellence in Herpetological Photography which will be selected and awarded in February of 2010. The Award for Excellence in Herpetological Photography consist of a larger cash award and a plaque mounted certificate. For more information about participating in these programs, please see A Call for Papers and Photos.
