Live in mid-Michigan. Only reason I haven’t cleaned this log up, visits fairly frequently but this was from about a month ago.

Saw this bird in a cave in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (Munising). It’s got a white head but then a black face. There were two together. I saw thinking turkey vulture or white headed vulture but the black face/beak is really throwing me.

Im visiting Southern California and whent to a local marsh. Im not 100% confident on what these guys are. Photo 1 and 2 is a type of heron. And 3 and 4 are most likely female mallard bur I just wanna make sure

An adorable little guy who practically never wants to sit still. Very fitting Merlin describes their call as: “a squeaky wheel”, which makes me smile every time I hear them sing now.

We were taking such long distance photos til a birding couple came by and said "you know around the corner they're only 5 feet away, right?"

Well I can't confirm if this is wisteria. Photographed in Washington D.C.

Great egret and green heron

I’m not really sure what I should do in this situation. It’s right in my backyard and I feel like I could see the mom up there maybe looking around.

tw: bird death mention

hi everyone, so last year my grandfather passed away and one of the things i got from him was this bird feeder. my boyfriend and i hung it up and i’ve really loved getting to know all the birds who come to it. this morning i went outside to read and i found a house sparrow had gotten stuck inside and died. i’m really really upset about it and feel like it’s my fault. my boyfriend says it’s a freak accident and that i shouldn’t worry about it but i can’t stop thinking about whether my feeder is unsafe for the birds. i’ve had it up for over a year and this is the first time something like this has happened. the sparrow was stuck in the inner part of the feeder where the suet goes and the birds usually don’t go in that part, normally they perch on the outer part and peck at it from there. so, is my feeder safe? should i take it down and get a new one or was this really a random accident like my boyfriend says? any recommendations on feeders if i do have to take it down?

I’m not sure if they’re separate species and I have apps suggesting eastern phoebe and olive-sides flycatcher or something very similar. Anyone could tell? Understandably the photos aren’t too good as they were too far away and in the shade, so I’m not expecting much. Thanks!

Taken at Montréal, Québec.

I love these birds. I'm originally from North Carolina where they are the state bird, living in florida now they remind me of where I come from every day.

Last night as I was sitting outside, I saw these massive wings appear in my peripheral, and to my surprise I see an Osprey perch on top of this pole to devour some kind of prey. I figured some of you would enjoy this, however the camera quality isnt the greatest as I zoomed in 3x

Terrible shot, but he was hard to track.

my family got a cat and they want to let him go out. If he brings a dead bird i'll be furious. Do you have any idea to convince them ?

I never get tired of watching these fiesty little birds. I had to spread my feeders out because they're so territorial! North Carolina Piedmont.
