This will be the year of the bird for me. I'm gonna go on a beginner's tour this month and then hit up the local Audubon Center at the end of the month

also this site fkin rules, it shows you sites near you and lists all the species spotted and everything. Even just the regular parks near me where I take my daughter have tons of species

ok

 

hell yeah going on a free beginners guided walking tour on the 13th. They're gonna lend me some binoculars. This will age me 40 years

 

Good thread, birds are dope.

A while ago I was walking my dog in the morning and I heard a crazy sound and way down the street I saw something huge in a palm tree. Turned out to be a gigantic scarlet macaw.



Definitely was someone's pet that got out or something.

It shocks everyone when they come across them, but there are actually flocks of wild green parrots in SoCal. They're loud as fuck and annoying whenever they're around.

I've been wanting to befriend a crow, my girlfriend was telling me if you keep giving them stuff they remember you and will start bringing you little shiny gifts.

 

I remember seeing little flocks of parakeets in Florida every so often and thinking it was crazy

then I remembered I was in Florida

 

There's a bunch of escaped parrots and parakeets living around Busch Gardens in Tampa. My friend lived near there and it was always wild to sometimes just walk outside and see some parrots in the tree.

 

I learned this through Dark Souls

 

Live in Florida: can confirm seeing parrots or parakeets out in the wild is not an uncommon thing. There is a whole Flock of freed canaries that hang out around one tree down the street from me.

 

how did you all celebrate National Bird Day?

 

I was only outside for a bit but didn’t see even one, it was sad. Knowing this makes me wonder if they were all at the convention around that time…

Carolina Wrens are one of the more common birds we get in the backyard here. Those things make so many different noises, including a bunch of cool duets

Everyone should download the Merlin app. Just stand in your backyard, start recording, then watch it ID a bunch of birds. So cool

 

cardinals are pretty cool huh?

 

super cool and super common, at least here. one of the few birds I can ID by its call

too bad the team SUCKS

 

One time when I was golfing I saw an egret pick a gopher out of a hole toss it in the air and swallow it whole.

 

birds are metal af

 

since making this post, I have acquired more.

We’ve got a cardinal in our backyard right now, too. He’s very handsome.

 

I used to work in the hood and this was a common occurrence.

 

dam rough streets

Think I saw a Bewick's Wren today. I sometimes read in a chair in the driveway during my lunch break if the weather is nice and we have a massive tree in the front yard. little guy wouldn't call loud enough for me to ID him

 

We get blue scrubjays in our yard and they are quite cool. Loud ones too…

 

Scrub jays make some loud weird ass sounds, had no idea what I was hearing first time I saw one

Big bird day. Finally got a calendar for the year



Then I'm working and my wife texts me this (I WFH):



Turned out to be a Lesser Goldfinch. Don't see those too often!
