"Look at me, I'm a goose!" - Great Blue Heron
Having a great time calling and paddling around the wetland.
Wow! Saw a Lark Bunting in my yard in Milwaukee, Wisconsin today. A first time for me. They're not supposed to be this far east, I think. Has anyone else in the Midwest seen these?
Red Breasted Sapsucker
I see these guys alll the time and have never been able to get a good pic until today. Beaverton, OR.
When I say I love birding because you can do it anywhere….
…I mean it.
Just driving to pick up something for lunch on my break from work in a busy suburban village, sitting at a red light with the windows down and heard some killdeer freaking out
I don’t see any people or dogs in that direction, so I look up in a tree and see an American Kestrel.
I recently got my lifer Black-necked Stilts from a Dollar General parking lot.
Birding just raises your awareness to the world around you, and blurs the societal distinction between just “outside” and “outdoors”, and forces you to notice that nature is everywhere. Even in your city/town.
Little Downy Woodpecker
Unfortunately it was cloudy out so the pictures are dark
May be common to some people but a lifer for me!!!
I know the picture quality sucks but I am so excited!! Mom saw something eating a bird in the road and so i went out to check what it was, assuming it was a hawk. Saw a glimpse of them flying through trees and then heard their calls and new EXACTLY what it was right away!! Being in Central Michigan its not common to see Ravens at all. Let alone 3!! Bucketlist bird that I can finally mark off my list after almost 4 years of birding!!😭😍
Quail kids
Single parent quail dad is doing a great job raising his chicks.
Complete birding/photography noob but I'm really happy with some of these shots I got
I've been interested in birding/wildlife photography for a while, but only got started on either of them last week, so any tips would be super appreciated!
All of these were taken in my parents' backyard in Santa Ana, CA, with a Canon Powershot SX50 HS.
Bird I've never seen in Lakewood, OH
I think, from my research it’s a Sora. It was pretty scared.
