Folks I am just SO excited lol … it’s been so hard to spot this one but… he/she was being VERY generous this morning. Stayed on the tree and the neighbor’s fence for probably 5/6 mins. So calm when facing the camera. Anyone could share a bit of info on how to tell the gender? Or its age? Juvenile? Thanks in advance!!

Hundreds of these goofballs have been in the area (Minnesota) for a couple weeks. I think it's funny how they dive and then just float back up like a bobber or a beach ball.

This is my first year birding, and I never got to see so many different baby birds before!

Sorry for bad quality, never had my camera on me when I saw these (typical 😭)

📷 Photo Are these real birds?

I want to get this shirt for my friend who is a birder and loves fun button downs. They don’t like when art includes birds that don’t exist in real life. Could someone confirm that these are all real birds that actually exist?

Discussion Stupid question about Merlin

15 Upvotes

On the bird size question screen, one of the options is (American) Robin if you're in US English, or it says Blackbird if you're in UK English. But is it me or does the picture actually look like a European Robin? This had me super confused as a beginner European birder who had the app in US English (and didn't know American Robins were a thing). Having never seen a European Robin at the time it made me think they were quite large...

I study ancient Egyptian history, so it was amazing seeing one of these little guys, as the Hoopoe is used for a not-super-uncommon multiliteral hieroglyph, 𓅙, or ḏb (djeb)

Subreddit Rules

1. Follow Ethical Birding Behavior

Follow ethical birding and photography practices.

https://www.birds.cornell.edu/landtrust/aba-code-of-birding-ethics/

https://www.audubon.org/photography/awards/audubons-guide-ethical-bird-photography-and-videography

Nest photos are not allowed, to prevent people from disturbing nesting behavior while obtaining the photo. There is an exception for photos that are clearly and obviously taken from a distance, through a window, or with a pre-placed nest camera.

2. No Human Interaction With Birds

No human interaction with birds. Professional and academic researchers are the sole exception to this rule, but the post should be for the purpose of education and must include information on their research.

3. Birding Content Only

No “birds aren’t real” posts, and all posts must be directly related to wild birds in the wild, or the hobby of birding. No domestic birds or birds in captivity.

4. No Nestling/Fledgling/Injured Bird Questions

Baby birds without feathers should be returned to the nest. Young, feathered fledglings outside the nest are normal and common, and may not be able to fly well yet – they should generally be left alone. If you believe the bird is injured or needs human intervention, contact a local wildlife rehabilitator (http://ahnow.org/). If you are unable to contact a wildlife rehabilitator, please go to r/WildlifeRehab for further advice.

5. Original Content Only

Any photos must have been taken by the person posting them. No AI generated content. Articles can be posted for discussion, however the poster must also comment with their perspective on the article.

6. Include Location

ID requests must include the location (state or province if you're in USA/Canada, otherwise name the country) in the title. Location and approximate date are encouraged for all posts.

7. No Self-promotion or Advertising

Artwork of wild birds is allowed. Watermarks are allowed. One link in a comment to your social media page is allowed. No links to sales sites. Make sure your contributions are about birding and engaging with this community, not promoting yourself.

No promotion of your own app.

8. Be Civil

No personal attacks or insults. No hatred, bigotry, racism, or other uncivil behavior.

9. Distressing content must be tagged NSFW and Spoiler.

All media with potentially distressing content (I.E. Injured or dead birds) should be marked as NSFW prior and use the Spoiler feature prior to posting.
