10 Gorgeous Photos Showcasing Birds and the Native Plants They Need
Since 2019, the Plants for Birds category has become a core part of the Audubon Photography Awards. Judges evaluate submissions for crisp images of birds interacting with native plants in natural ways, whether through foraging, nesting, or gracefully sipping nectar from the Twinberry Honeysuckle, like this elegant Rufous Hummingbird.

In capturing these moments, the talented photographers behind each shot underscore the vital relationship between native plants and the birds they support. Explore the best photos from this year’s Plants for Birds category and get inspired by the beauty and simplicity of this timeless relationship.
