Spotted in Salem OR last summer

These pics were taken either on the jungle tour or at the resort we stayed at in Costa Rica last week.

Either by me, or...for the ones that have the strange black circle...the guide took them thru her super crazy zoom telescope she had on a tripod which was awesome.

Was shocked to learn that apparently toucans are voracious omnivores vs the vegetarians I assumed.

and what do they judge? 🙄Every single screecher we rehabbed this year looked at me like this 😂

*EDIT* owner has been found!! Currently they are looking in the woods and close to the area in hope to find it. It has been missing for 2 weeks and travelled around 9km! Thanks for everyones help!

Also it was found in a literal school yard next to my house, i do live in a pretty rural area of Quebec aswell as this picture was just taken an hour ago!

My sweet girl Mojo got spooked and flew out the door this evening near Lynbrook apartments in Alexandria, VA. She’s a medium sized DYH Amazon parrot. She has a band that states she was hatched in Washington, I don’t know if she’s chipped. If you have seen or found her, please contact me. I’m not sure if there are particular rules with this subreddit, I’m devastated and trying to cover all bases to get her home. We’re really worried about her and want her back home ASAP 🥺

First time I’ve seen a goose with what I believe is a tag but is it normal for them to seem super intrusive

hi everyone!

I have an art account dedicated to birds and wildlife. If you’d like to know more about the vast species of birds make sure to check it out (and follow if you enjoy the content so you can boost a local artist on his humble beginnings).

@chiffchaffchant

I’ll be posting mostly about birds and why they are the best thing on earth!! Feel free to share your suggestions <3

My photo - taken in Jim Thorpe, PA

Found a bird inside by the cabins on the forward side of the ship. Earlier I was at the aft/back and I’m going to assume I saw it’s mom. I relocated it to the back with a cloth. When I came back here, I saw the bigger bird with same colors, but it was flying around frantically and now it seems to be gone. I know it needs its mom to get its nutrients. The next stop tomorrow is a private island so I won’t be able to get it to a rehabber. Really sad. Is there anything I can do?

Every morning when I walk out of my hotel this grackle will come down and beg for snacks. If I don't give him one he'll start crackling. He's eating more crackers than I am. Original picture.

This is a wild bird that I saw on our backyard. It seems to be breathing heavily. It is weak and can't fly.

May I ask how could I help it.

Thank you

Took some bird photos during the bird watching weekend (+ day after)(definitely not a professional, bought a secondhand Canon EOS 7D + 75-300mm lens)

Birds:

1. Common buzzard

2. Eurasian jay

3. Pheasant

4. Hooded crow

5. Eurasian magpie

6. & 7. House sparrow

I am indeed experimenting with framing the picture in order to make it look sharper than it is :)
