Chris Person, of Oneida, took third with his "Playful coyotes" shot.

<p><br />The name of the photographer who took third place in <a href="http://blog.syracuse.com/outdoors/2013/06/finalists_in_6th_annual_wildli.html">the Wildlife Photography Contest </a>was incorrect on this blog and in The Post-Standard newspaper Sunday.</p>

<p>Chris Person, of Oneida, took third with his "Playful coyotes" shot. </p>

<p>"There were four pups in my yard for about six week, eating berries off my mulberry tree," he said. "Nearly every day, I set up a blind from 6 to 9 a.m. and watched them play and run around.</p>

<p>"I took more than 1,000 photos."</p>

<p>The story incorrectly listed Robert F. Cook, of Earlville as the photographer. Cook took second place with his photo "Who goes there?," which showed a pair of Eastern screech owls peeking out of a hole near the peak of an old barn.</p>

<p>Cook's photo of a coyote in the woods, "Alert Coyote," also was selected among the top 14 photos submitted in the contest.</p>

<p>My apologies to Mr. Person. It was a good photo that he worked hard to get.</p>
