A community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general!

Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

I like the blue rings around their eyes

Ditto. I've managed to snag a few photos of birds on/near our feeder from a very close distance. The fine details are pretty amazing.

Last month while I was walking home I saw a couple of mourning doves at the “mostly walk around but fly if I really have to” fledgling stage, and they were so stinkin cute 🥹

Haha, the way you summarized their behavior is spot on. "Do I really have to fly here or can I keep walking?"

Mine are still plotting my death, so I'll skip getting that close to them.
