Announcing the opening of the 2027 ‘Wings Over Bolsa’ Bolsa Chica calendar photo submission period! Do you love to visit the Bolsa Chica wetlands and take photos of everything from beautiful birds to sweeping landscapes? We encourage you to submit your photos to the annual calendar and would love to see your amazing photographs of the birds, animals, insects, and landscapes of Bolsa Chica.

The purpose of the calendar is to inspire and educate people about the importance and beauty of Bolsa Chica birds, wildlife, and ecosystem.  The ‘Wings Over Bolsa’ calendar is one of the best ways we show why preserving and restoring Bolsa Chica is so important. Thousands of visitors enjoy Bolsa Chica every year, but few get to see the amazing wildlife, behavior, and landscapes photographers like you capture with your cameras. We know it takes many hours, patience and tons of practice to get such stunning images, and we are enormously grateful to all the photographers who sharing their photos with us.

If you would like to submit photos for consideration in the 2027 calendar, please upload your photos through our secure online BCLT portal between Monday April 6th and Friday May 1st, 2026. All photos are selected by blind review and based on quality and originality. We look forward to seeing your stellar photos!
