Welcome to /c/birding, a community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general! Feel free to post your birding photos or just photos of birds you found in general, but please follow the rules as outlined below.
-
This should go without saying, but please be nice to one another. No petty insults, no bigotry, no harassment, hate speech,nothing of that sort! Depending on the severity, you'll either only get your comment removed and a warning or your comment will be removed and you will be banned from /c/birding.
-
This is a community for posting content of birds, nothing else. Please keep the posts related to birding or birds in general.
-
When posting photos or videos that you did not take, please always credit the original photographer! Link to the original post on social media as well, if there is one.
-
Absolutely no AI-generated content is allowed! I know it has become quite difficult to tell whether or not something is AI-generated or not, but please make sure that whatever you post is not AI-generated. If it is, your post will be removed. If you continously post AI-generated content, you'll be banned from /c/birding (but it's obviously okay if you post AI-generated stuff once or twice without knowing you did so).
-
Please provide rough information location, if possible. This is a more loosely-enforced rule, especially because it is sometimes not possible to provide a location. But if you post a photo you took yourself, please provide a rough location and date of the sighting.

Been hanging around since mid-November. Shot on phone through binoculars.

Red-browed Finch (Neochmia temporalis)
Archerfield Wetlands, Queensland, Australia - June 2024
Image description: A small olive-green and grey finch with a red stripe across its brow sits on a branch of a small, scrubby and leafless plant, surrounded by branches and seedpods. Two other finches are partially visible, obscured by the branches

Red Kite under the mistletoe, Prospect Park, Reading Canon R5 Mk II + RF200-800mm, F9, 1/1250s, ISO640
The ungainly pose comes from it losing balance for a moment (I suspect it woke from a doze!)

Taken along the LA River. I didn’t get a good picture, but I also saw a male and female hooded merganser pair, along with more wigeons, coots, and grackles than you could shake a stick at.

I was out recently noticed two Tawnys in a tree, i was surpirsed as the last i saw any was around a year ago and it was just one where i’d always seen two together.
These two looked very tired. The one on the left was more awake and i felt like i was being glared at. ‘Dude, I’m watching you, I don’t like you and if you come closer, we might have to move, and we really, really don’t want to do that’.
So i came close enough to get this shot and left them in peace but am keeping an eye out for them the next time in the area.

Caught a picture of one of my mini woodpecker friends today.
I like how his butt feathers blowing around resemble the arms of a snowflake.
(Pennsylvania, Pixel 7 through the patio door I need to clean when it isn't 8 degrees (-13.3 C))

Not that special a photo, apart from it being in clouded over winter light, so delighted with what I got.
Reading, UK. Canon RF200-800mm (at 800mm), F/9, ISO6400, lots of exposure compensation (+2 2/3 or so!), 1/1000s
As a bonus, the same bird from a different angle, filling the frame
