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.

  1. 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.

  2. This is a community for posting content of birds, nothing else. Please keep the posts related to birding or birds in general.

  3. 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.

  4. 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).

  5. 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.

Not a professional photo in any sense. Apologies for that. But I saw this grumpy-looking little guy/gal in a bush and took a photo from a distance away. Wanted to share it, even if it's not as good as any of the other photos posted here.

One of the babies I've been observing since the nest was built above my deck. It was fascinating to see them grow up & finally leave the nest! All 4 are finally gone.

I wish them the best in their growth and hope they are able thrive safely.

I love Robins. They are brave little birds who love to hop/fly slightly ahead of you so they can stare you down. They give off a "Keep walking this way and you gon' get stabbed" vibe. It's an all bark no bite situation, so you're not actually in any real danger.

They always look so grumpy... I couldn't get the image working properly (lemmy image proxy failing) so here it is

Wow. I knpw an American and an European robin aren't the same, but now I see the high difference. Nice pic and thank you for the random education.

To be fair, this is the "awkward tween" phase.

Adult robins look much better!
