I believe it's a Killdear, and it's been sitting in my backyard for two days now, while its partner makes frequent visits. My concern is a storm is expected to hit over the next few days. I understand it's illegal to move a nest where I live, but is there anything I can do to protect it from the storm?
Going through old photos of mine and I noticed this blurry, yet distinct looking bird in the background of a redstart photo. It looks to me to have a gray-yellow or olive back, a sharply defined yellow head, and a black beak and mask. Maybe similar size as the redstart but hard to tell from this image. In a fairly dense forest by a lake.
Am i correct in assuming they're either a woodpecker in molt or a juvenile? I knew someone was eating the suet pellets, but this is the first time I've seen them come out!
Photos are through a window screen unfortunately, which hurt the quality. I'd also be interested in any birding books you could recommend for beginners! Thank you!
Edi5: forgot to add, in East Texas!
Sorry the quality isn't great. My cat was scratching to be let out. I'm more curious about the really pretty call than the simple repetitive one. But I wouldn't mind knowing what that is either. I hear the simple one every day. But I don't remember hearing the really pretty one
It didn't make any calls, but Merlin picked up a Swainson's Thrush call yesterday in the same area.
In Southern Ontario yesterday, not sure if it’s a pewee or a flycatcher
We have lots of frequent cardinal visitors in our yard but we are able to pick this one out every single time because it's so much paler than every other cardinal. I finally got a couple photos...what kind of cardinal is this?
He’s sitting on a rooftop flanked by a few *grackles. If Reddit will allow I’ll post the vid of them chasing him off.
Sorry for low quality only have my phone
What is this very very red bird that I saw today? Location Central Oregon near the coast.
I just moved from an area that mostly had house finches and this guy definitely doesn’t match.
Just curious! I've seen these in my front yard and backyard!
Love the bright orange markings
It was a cool coloration. I wish I got him looking forward at me though.
why is it a moth
I couldn’t get an unobstructed view of the body from the hiking trail I was on but the entire body appeared to be the same dark brown color as the head. Couldn’t see any other diagnostic patterns or markings and it didn’t make any noise. Is it a golden eagle?
Found this little guy outside my college in Oregon City. He’s barely moving, just breathing heavily and occasionally opening his eyes. I haven’t touched him at all. Can anybody please tell me what it is and how I can help the poor fella if I can at all or even if I should?
What’s this one. Saw him waiting to board a ferry at Portsmouth UK.
