Dickhead here made this week's #Birbsday easy for me. After a long day of driving I stopped quickly to scarf down some chips (fries) and this shithawk extraordinaire alighted on my hood and proceeded to eyeball me the entire time. #Cymru #Wales #NorthWales #seagull #herringgull #Möwe #shithawk #dickhead #bird #birds #birb #birbs #Vogel #Vögel #birdsday #birdsofmastodon #birdsofpixelfed #wildlife #wildlifephotography #scavenger #beggar #silly #funny #photography

@CatherineBabault Those fawns are masters of the art! 😂

Purple martins!These round white objects are nest boxes—per https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Purple_Martin, eastern purple martins almost never nest "naturally" any more; instead, they rely on human-created nest boxes. This picture shows (I think) a female on the "balcony" of the left nest sphere, a male on the right, and in the middle near the pole what I believe is a chick that hasn't quite fledged yet.Audrey Carroll Sanctuary, Mt. Airy, MD.#birds #wildlifePhotography #birdsforbecsnan

One species a day before Biodiversity Day (22/05).To round off the series, here’s an animal we searched for for a long time before finally spotting it in 2024: the ever-so-cute but endangered numbat, of which there are said to be just 800 adults left.#biodiversity #biodiversityday #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #mamals #photography #australia

A lot of tree sparrows, some in or around nesting boxes, at the Blue Mash Nature Trail today. Also: a cedar waxwing (definitely one of the prettiest birds around) and a great crested flycatcher.#birds #wildlifePhotography #birdsforbecsnan

@milgrim Turtles don’t seem to care much. A few years ago, I got a picture of a great blue heron standing on top of one…

@mattblaze I find Manhattan much better. One reason why is that there's a very high density of birds—there aren't that many obvious habitats for birds that make it to the city, and NYC is on the Atlantic Flyway. Not that anyone knows these ravens have decided to set up housekeeping in Manhattan… There are a few birds I see more often in the DMV—black vultures, red-shouldered hawks, pileated woodpeckers, and especially bald eagles, though I've seen all of those in or very close to NYC.

After several very tiring days, I finally got to go out. The prize was a least bittern, which I'd never have spotted on my own. Fortunately, most birders are very friendly and helpful. Also: an orchard oriole (only the second I've seen), many tree swallows, and a couple of eastern bluebirds.#birds #wildlifePhotography #birdsforbecsnan

A double-crested cormorant, once drying its wings and once perched with some turtles. Also: two of my last four walks I've encountered snakes, this time a garter snake. Lake Needwood.#birds #wildlifePhotography #birdsforbecsnan
