Fish also tend to congregate in shadowed areas because that means overhead cover like plants, which protects them from predators. :v:

A lot of herons and other wading birds do it.

Sounds like a good excuse for me to post this classic!

I am not good at photos and I didn't want to scare the little hoppers, so sorry for the quality.

Here are some birds from my backyard in Humboldt County, CA:









I THINK they're a kind of oriole? I tried looking them up but I am not a birder, I just like looking at them.

That looks like it! They were so fat. My grandmother rehabbed an oriole when I was a kid and I remember him being tall and slender with long legs, but he had such similar coloring and patterns to these beebees. Thank you :)

The one in the middle here looks like a Lesser Goldfinch to me. The ones on either side of it are less clear, but I'm guessing that they're also Lesser Goldfinches, not American Goldfinches.

We've had some odd visitors lately in my area, I snapped a few shots with my phone while my gf busted out her fancy camera:

Woody the wood duck, the only one around (??) Hanging out with the other ducks. Very squeaky call, like a dog toy, and very sassy to the other ducks.





A friendly muscovy duck who liked to pose for us.




There were also some odd ball ones she got photos of that seemed to be some kind of Teal (ID app kept saying cinnamon teal but we're way too east for that). Waiting to hear from the bird group though! Also the uhh hooded mergansers with their fancy hats keep moving around so no luck yet sadly.

I'd go with this too. Keep an eye out for guys about this size that are streaky brown with a little yellow in the wings. Pine Siskins are a related species of finch that are everywhere this year.

Thank you for the responses! I promise I did google the birdies first, but I knew coming here would produce better results anyway.

The goon hivemind is an amazing thing and the worst that would have happened is birbs getting posted in the birb thread. :justpost: was never more justified.

They were very cute. I think they were eating seeds or bugs, and watching their little heads move around while they peeped and kept busy was really nice in the midst of quarantining in my apartment.

Oh no. That is too much parrot. A toddler with bolt cutters on his face should not be that large.

Is that his owner, or his hostage?

It took me until it lifted its head up to realise that it's not some weird underbite parrot.
