Welcome to /c/birding, a community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general! Feel free to post your birding photos or just photos of birds you found in general, but please follow the rules as outlined below.
-
This should go without saying, but please be nice to one another. No petty insults, no bigotry, no harassment, hate speech,nothing of that sort! Depending on the severity, you'll either only get your comment removed and a warning or your comment will be removed and you will be banned from /c/birding.
-
This is a community for posting content of birds, nothing else. Please keep the posts related to birding or birds in general.
-
When posting photos or videos that you did not take, please always credit the original photographer! Link to the original post on social media as well, if there is one.
-
Absolutely no AI-generated content is allowed! I know it has become quite difficult to tell whether or not something is AI-generated or not, but please make sure that whatever you post is not AI-generated. If it is, your post will be removed. If you continously post AI-generated content, you'll be banned from /c/birding (but it's obviously okay if you post AI-generated stuff once or twice without knowing you did so).
-
Please provide rough information location, if possible. This is a more loosely-enforced rule, especially because it is sometimes not possible to provide a location. But if you post a photo you took yourself, please provide a rough location and date of the sighting.

The Song Thrush is in the same yew tree as yesterday's photos. The Blue Tit and Blackbird are in a Rowan tree (AKA Mountain Ash) (I think!) standing to the side of the yew.
Contact sheet form to keep the bandwidth down (the originals sum to around 15Mb).

Despite the other post I made today being well lit, Prospect Park, Reading, UK was distinctly misty today. The top two are just atmospheric and bird free (probably). Below that, an Egyptian Goose on one of its favourite perches - the other is likewise a dead trunk, and a Red Kite. Again saving bandwidth when I couldn't choose which to post where.

That moment you know you've been spotted - though for once this rather ruffled Red Kite didn't immediately fly away.

Central Ohio doesn't have any ocean or Great Lakes coast, but we do have some nice bodies of water for shore birds, gulls, and migrating ducks. We've had two eared grebes the past week-ish, unusual for our area. They're adorable!

It may have been cold in Prospect Park, Reading, UK today, but it was bright and lots of birds. Good shots of some Chaffinchs which I haven't seen in the park for a long time - winter visitors, I'd guess.
Canon R5 Mk II + RF200-800. Annoyinging 1/800s as forgot to check it was correctly set at the start of the walk - it could have been faster.

Sacramento CA area.
Sparrow to Robin size. Golden belly with strong blue wings. Almost like a shrub jay with darker wings.

I recently started laying out whole peanuts on my balcony in an attempt to attract some of the local crows, but caught the attention of three jays instead ๐

Went out for a walk around the airpark yesterday and snapped this pic. Also got a Northern Flicker!

This perch in Prospect Park, Reading, UK, is often contested. The magpie one this round, struck a victory pose, flew off and the kite was back again a few minutes later.
The photo seemed to hit some Lemmy limits, this version is half the original pixels width and height.
