The bird head in the hole looks like a lens with a reflection. I thought it was a hidden camera for a second.

 DSCF5123 by Kaleem Rorke, on FlickrI dunno, this birding thing doesn't seem all that hard, I mean, I can do it with an X100V! Granted, the owl allowed me to get literal inches from it, but still!

First birb photo I have taken that I think is "pretty good": Wagtail and sparrow fighting about a hole under the gutter. e: here is the what lead to the brief scuffle, wagtail is arriving to the spot with some stuff on its beak but the sparrow is already camping there

Nothing special, just the closest and sharpest a robin and mallard has gotten to me so far  Honorable mention to this slightly less sharp one, for the laughter at the unbridled joy of being alive and in the air  Response to Runaway Pancakes' tree swallows from earlier  Wood duck with chicks

I love the contrast and colors on this one! Did you have to enhance the contrast in post? My local birding spot has loads of Red-winged Blackbirds. I love these birds.     Bonus geese!

DorianGravy posted:I love the contrast and colors on this one! Did you have to enhance the contrast in post? Thanks! I definitely tweaked it some, but it started from a decent image. I moved positions until I could get the bird more or less in the darker part of the background. Here's the photo with only +.2 EV and lens correction.  Wildcat Webl unprocessed-2088 on FlickrI'm feeling kind of clumsy with my edits right now so I'll probably go back to this again if it ends up as something I want to print or throw in a calendar. I have an old Loopdeck that stopped working when I upgraded my Lightroom to the latest version, and I haven't been able to get it working again. The left click on my mouse is also wearing out. Not that there are things I can't do now, but it's just less enjoyable to fiddle with sliders.

I believe that is a European sparrow. House would be pink/purple-headed.

We have 2 main sparrows in "Eurasia", House Sparrow (most common, exported all around the world enjoy that shrill nest ownership call all day in spring) male has a grey patch above the bill, and we also have the rarer Tree Sparrow, male has an all brown head. Also we have Blue Tits  Busy parent Blue Tit by Aves Lux, on Flickr

Amazing colors on this one. quote:And, need some ID help on this guy. Utah. I got out yesterday and checked on one of the owl families in my local park. I didn't see them where the nest was but as we were turning around to leave I heard the baby screeching from a slightly different direction. I went in search and found the parent before I located the kid. The lighting was really nice but I couldn't find a perfectly unobstructed view. This mom is usually really chill but I could tell me just kind of popping up near her roost tree she wasn't thrilled I was there (didn't flush, but starting to do the owl head bobbing thing), so I backed away back, and managed to finally see the fluff ball.

I need to hit up a new park, all I ever see are Yellow Warblers, Song Sparrows, and American Goldfinch. Tried going yesterday in the evening instead of in the morning like I have been the past week, no change, but happy with these two shots Yellow Warbler by Tyler Huestis, on Flickr Song Sparrow by Tyler Huestis, on Flickr
