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.

Just found out that this little bitch bird is killing all the other small birds that lived for years on the trees next to our house.
I noticed lately that the usual birds sounds are gone for the past three weeks, it appears this fucker is killing them

Meant to post this the other day, but we discovered that the cardinal pair that frequents our property has built a lil nest on the lady banks vines against the front of our house - featuring two little eggs!! I managed to sneak this pic while the parents-to-be were grabbing a snack at the patio.

Mockingbird flew to a branch right above me and posed for a picture. What a ham.

Gluttony means over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste.

For those that don't know, I started digital photography this year after many decades since I gave up film photography due to cost and time.
Its been a journey relearning old skills and learning all the new tricks like editing. Hence posting this photo from February, which i have finally gotten closer to the colours I see in my head when I see a bluetit with this remaster.

Great Lakes region, USA. May 2026.
Cedar waxwings are cool in my book. A surprisingly friendly and docile bird with a lot of personality. There were dozens of them in a few berry trees. Males, females, and juveniles alike. These waxwings are a breed of bird that survives primarily off of berries, not that they won't eat a little protein on the side.

Long tailed tit juveniles look a little weird when they're ready to leave the nest. Cute, but also a little gross!

Egrets and Herons are just the goofiest flyers
