A community dedicated to helping people identify birds

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules:

  1. Bird identification only. No memes, jokes, or awesome bird photos (that you know the species of). There are other communities out there for that. Please mark posts about the community with META

  2. Any sign of birds are allowed, this includes but is not limited to: photos, blurry photos, feathers, eggs, audio, Ms Paint drawings, verbal descriptions, etc.

  3. Mark dead or seriously injured birds as NSFW

  4. Please try to provide any information you possibly have. Rough Location, terrain, time of year, and time of day can all be helpful. But please don't dox yourself, within 30 miles is usually just fine, no need for gps coordinates.

I recommend trying Merlin ID if you haven't yet, the photo ID feature is pretty useful.

Using the app it reported your pictures as a Yellow Serin(little yellow bird), a Black Redstart (little greyish bird), and Common Raven (last blurry pic). Got nothing for the raptor yet.

Thanks! Ya I use merlin but often it's not definitive. I did just figure out the first raptor. It is a European honey buzzard.
