Description:Recreation category winner, Setting Decoys on a Frozen North Dakota Wetland by Craig Birhle. Sunrise preparation for waterfowl hunting, a man places decoys in partially frozen water as the sun begins to light up the sky. There’s movement in the decoys that are being placed, but stillness in the water and overall, the image illustrates the calm before the excitement of the hunt.
