My family's big on photography, and I've recently been sorting through our family archive. A selection of bird photos we've taken.


Juvenile bald eagle


Juvenile great horned owl


Rough legged hawk


Nature (or, ignoring the label, red-winged blackbird)


Great egret


Carolina wren


Barred owl

Yeah Aussie Magpies are not corvids like Euro ones. They are a seperate and native species to Australia.
They are usually chill, curious and not afraid of humans until it's breeding season and then all bets are off,
They will aggressively protect their nests and swoop anything they regard as a threat, Whole neighbourhoods can be terrorised and people have had serious eye injuries, or even lost an eye to them'
Beautiful singers though.

Sounds a lot like northern mockingbirds in the American south. Except mockingbirds are so small the only things they tend to actually terrorize are squirrels, pets, and children.

I think this is some kind of grackle? Saw it in Florida, it was pretty friendly. :3:


Female boat tailed grackle. The males are all dark and iridescent, the females are brown.

They're obnoxious lovely trash birds, like seagulls and pigeons. They ruined my dad's bird feeder when they would descend on it in flocks of a dozen on a small bird feeder, crowding out and bullying away every other bird. The only birds willing to fight them were the red-bellied woodpeckers.

Anyone know what this guy is, seen in Vermont?



He should be an eastern bluebird but doesn't look like any of the pics I can see.

(Is there an actual bird watchers thread around somewhere?)

edit: Indigo Bunting maybe?

There is indeed a birdwatching thread.

Why is this a problem instead of just free tasty eggs?

Pet parrots are not chickens and don't lay large or particularly tasty eggs, or do so in large clutches. Parrots are also much smaller, and producing eggs can be hard on a female's body.

Noisy Fucker has a dreaming his heart that will be heard and will not be denied!!!

Noisy Fucker is a Carolina Wren and thus eats bugs that hang around the house, so I tolerate him and don't wish one of our local bobcats would get him.

Edit: New page, so have a Barred Owl that was having a sleepy morning near my apartment.

There are a few Blue Jays that have taken up residence in my backyard and they are some of the noisiest bastards. I thought Mockingbirds claiming their territory or looking for a mate was bad, these Blue Jays have taken it to the next level of loud.

If they're screaming, that's their flock alert sound - one of them probably spotted a hawk or cat or something. They can actually be quite musical when they're so inclined.

I'll still take them over that loving wren. ter-WEEET ter-WEEET ter-WEEET over and over again, starting at about 5 AM outside my bedroom window.

What kind of bird is that?

I'm guessing a juvenile flightless bird of some kind, maybe ostrich at that size? It's that very particular kind of fuzzy you see with very young birds.

I hope you've never seen an ostrich with a beak like that, that would be terrifying

I could also believe it's an emu, which I think do have beaks like that. Emus are farm animals where I live, they're reasonably friendly and docile.
