r/whatsthisbird

Obligatory don't touch random birds you find, dude filming shouldn't have, but who is this indignant bird?

Never seen them before they look like turkeys if I had to guess

there are some of them here on the coast of garda, italy alongside some very weird ducks. Ive seen the guys from the picture dive really deep, its amazing!!

This bird has been to my garden a few times and I just can't tell what it is as no pigeons or doves look like this in my area unless you mixed a Woodland Pigeon with a Collared Dove.

It's been in the fenced-off part of the garden for the past few hours, and didn't fly away on seeing me. It's bobbing along the ground, and onto the planter, in a sprightly fashion, but is showing no inclination to fly. There's a tree in one corner of the garden, and I'm wondering if it fell from that. No visible damage I can see.

My birding group has said red-shouldered hawk, broad-winged hawk, and possibly a hybrid. I was curious what this group will say. These two were soaring around the suburbs together, and occasionally the one that looks like a juvenile would “buzz” the other. There is a nearby greenbelt and creek. The first photo of each pair is unedited except for cropping. The second photo has been brightened. I have other pics if needed, but they are all of the birds soaring.

From Gooseberry Island in Westport, MA. Semipalmated? White-rumped? Baird’s? Sandpipers always trip me up

Seen at Ridgefield NWR in Washington State.

Little dude snooping on my nephew in Calgary, Alberta.

Found near an artificial lake, I tried looking it up but the one I found that resembles it the most is only found in America and Asia. It ate out of my hands it was amazing

Stumbled on this community few weeks back just by chance.

Went for brief walk during lunch today and spotted this guy. I see sandhill cranes everyday so typically doesn’t even register but this one caught my eye as was much lighter in color than I’ve seen before. Did some googling and thinking it’s a leucistic?

This was spotted in Manatee County Florida

Last pic for their habitat, there were about 50s of them

I've never noticed a cardinal hanging out with a non-cardinal? These two always travel in a pair.

Does anyone know what kind of owl this is? There are two hanging out together. This is Bay Area, California.
