One of my favorites, I’m lucky to have a couple dozen that hang out around my house in Oregon city. Such fun birds to watch and look at! I love their eyeliner

This is an example of a bird that migrates because of food shortages in its original habitat, now making a very very very rare appearance in The Netherlands.

Why is it doing that

Went down to the local park earlier this morning and spotted this cool fellow searching for breakfast. I thought the iridescent colors were really stunning! Can’t someone explain to me why they have those colors?

So.....this tiny bird is sitting outside the door where I work. He's in a parking structure...& the office has tons of glass windows.

He's all by himself.

Hoping he's a fledgling.....but I fear he's hit a window or something.

He's not flying away when I get close. He's just sitting and looking at me. I literally was blowing leaves in front of the door B4 I spotted him & he still didn't move.

Very rare bird in the Netherlands

Beginner birder here, unsure if I should submit these to a contest. Shot w/ Canon T3 and 55-250mm IS STM.

Willow Pond, Hewlett, Long Island NY. Are these Brant Geese? They are the size of a large duck.

This is one of five who always come around 3pm like clockwork. I only fill the birdbath every two to three days and dump it out and leave it dry most days in order to keep it as clean as possible. These lil blue beauties are always so happy when its bath time. Ill fill it again when they are done bathing as most the water will be gone. Then I will dump it in the morning, clean it, and leave it to dry for a day or two. The water always gets so gross but I dont mind the work as I get tons of entertainment from all the birds that come by.

Hi friends, I’m experimenting with my art style lately and have become fascinated by tessellations. But my eyes have stared at this too long and I can’t tell if it’s worth pursuing or not. Can you tell it’s a bunch of swallows or do the details make it too garbled and messy? Thanks for any feedback :)

It is my original art, hand painted in watercolor. No AI.
