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.

This photo just satisfies me somehow ... perhaps it's just how it demands you write a thought bubble for the female.

Not the best photo, he just zoomed past me on the beach once, but it’s my first time seeing a bald eagle! (Bodega Bay, CA)

Possibly the dullest appearing bird in the world: "like a sparrow but more grey", but this one was looking quite cute this morning: just a shame my skills(*) and the light were not of the best.
Canon R5MkII + RF200-800, Prospect Park, Reading, UK
(*) Finding I'd knocked the aperture dial to F13 from the lowest of F9 the day before, for instance, and not noticed.

Just amused to see two Greater Spotted Woodpeckers competing to peck at a tree (I think one is female, one male, from the nek markings)
Not great light in Prospect Park, Reading, UK with a Canon R5 MkII + RF200-800

It had been a minute since I was last out. My chickadees were there for me not much else. I spotted two white-breasted nuthatches, a mourning dove, and a downy woodpecker, but they were too far away. I heard various crows also.

...at least I think! Heard nasally "eh-eh"s instead of that distinct "caw caw." Waiting for someone to drop their breakfast in the parking lot.
Southeast US.
