A community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general!

Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

A lot of people probably already know this exists, but for those who don't, there's an awesome app that tells you what birds are around from their calls/songs. It's called "Merlin". You can also give it photos to ID. I usually leave it running in my pocket or hand while I walk around my local RSPB reserve.

It cannot be overstated how cool the audio ID function is. I would not have learned the difference between a red-tailed and red-shouldered hawk otherwise.
