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.

If Merlin is incorrect, I'd love if the experts on here could identify. Thanks so much!

To me it looks pretty good for red-winged blackbird, do you hear them around there? They have a very distinct call

Looks like red-winged to me as well.

It looks more like a fledgling American Robin to me

Merlin is an app by Cornell that uses machines learning to try to identify birds by photos or recorded sounds. It's pretty amazing. Here's the link to the Android version.
