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.
Great Lakes region, USA. May 2026.
This goose was drying off in the sunset. You can even see the steam coming off of it. Pretty cool.
A largely misunderstood bird. Love these dudes. They do poop everywhere, all the time, though.
Ha, yeah there were a few ruined shots because the parents dropped a deuce in the middle of the frame.
Fantastic photos of the meanest bird!
The lighting is so good on these
Some say they are mean, i like to think they have well defined boundaries. Also they must ignore some laws of aerodynamics to fly with a body shaped like a watermelon.
I agree. They talk a big game, but they're mostly chill. Just don't get too close and they don't really mind.
Glad you used the telephoto lens otherwise they would have bit your nuts off
EDIT: because I want to make sure people know the above is a joke, these are beautiful shots of beautiful birds 🖖
Not true. Most Canada geese are not aggressive unless heavily provoked, or their young are threatened. In fact, if you see them in a public area, you can almost certainly walk right up to them and they won't do anything but waddle away.
Hey, if you've got a problem with Canadian geese, then you've got a problem with me and I suggest you let that marinate.
Sounds like you're gonna bit my nuts off if I get too close. Don't worry, friend, I have no reason to get close to you or your cobra chickens 😉
2/5 stars.
