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.

Never heard of this species before, very cool looking bird. Great photo!

Thanks, it's not too common where I'm from either so it was a lucky find. I think the tiger stripes are the most interesting feature for this bird

Me neither! What a creature, positively prehistoric.

Birds aren't real - terrible misinofrmation.

Also wouldn't it be better to replace the glorified seagull in the sidebar with a proper eagle like the Golden Eagle?

I dunno about that, it's the moderator's choice on what the icon should be. Personally I prefer small passerine birds since they tend to be more colourful.
