This bird was seen August 13th at Headlands Beach in Mentor, Ohio (near Lake Erie) at about 7:30pm. My camera isn't the best and this was the only footage I could get. I believe it is eating a fish but it's hard to tell.
So last week I wrote a blog post about the MorrĂgan and depicted it as a great black crow in irish mythology. I showed it to my Birder Dad and he has pointed out, usually when people see what they think is a crow, or a deep black crow, they are looking a a member of the Corvid family, not the carrion crow regularly assciated with being a crow. Can anyone confirm this? Is it extremely rare for the carrion crow to show up here?
I heard this eerie back and forth kind of call while visiting Nikko (Japan) at the end of July. What bird is this? Any help would be much appreciated!
saw it in a meme and im really curious because the bird looks adorable
Saw this bird today in Milwaukee, WI.
I can't tell what it is, and frustratingly, my phone did not want to focus. It's black, with a yellow beak, and could stay under water for very long periods of time.
Juvenile Ruddy Turnstone?
Hey yall, me and my sister saw this bird in our neighborhood while going on an evening walk. We are curious what bird is this as it looks similar to a vulture 🤨 We live in the city in Malaysia.
I can’t tell if it’s hurt or what. It’s calling with another hawk
Believe this is a Wilson’s Plover seen alone with some Sanderlings.
1: almost looks like a western gull but black beak? and speckled head?
2: and then those two chasing each other for pizza ?

Sorry for quality taken by phone from camera by phone.
Location: Palm Coast, FL
Apologies for the quality, I didn’t want to get closer and scare it off.
I’m visiting my friend who has lived here for years and spends a lot of time outside. He says he’s never seen this type of bird before and is convinced it’s an escaped pet. Can anyone identify this?
I’m in rural northeast Texas. I hear these guys in the morning or evening. It doesn’t register on Merlin. None of my friends recognize the sound.
Southeastern PA. Hard to tom the picture but looks like a very pale belly. Not enough "adult" field markings for me to figure out on my own.
This was in Pacifica, CA. It just landed in front of me, swam around a little, and flew off. Never seen this guy before and the quality is kind of buns so I don’t trust myself with an ID. Anyone know who this is?
Merlin gave me an ID but I’m not convinced.
mom and babies in ocean city, maryland
Southeastern PA. Merlin told me House Finch but they would all have to be female since I don't see any (male) reddish ones?
Edited to add: I am aware of the lone female cardinal mixed in with them.
