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.

That whole adjustment from "food gets put in my beak when I raise it" to "Food is at my feet and I lower my beak to pick it up" is a toughie.
