The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association and RE Magazine have named Ravalli Electric Co-op winner of the June 2020 ‘Wild Animals’ Photo Challenge.
According to a press release, Ravalli Electric Co-op [ravallielectric.com] lineman Todd Irwin captured the winning image of three raccoons hugging a power pole and waiting patiently to be rescued after a caller reported a dog had been chasing them. The critters eventually ran down the pole and safely made it back to ground.
REC’s winning entry was among 1,300 photo submissions.
