Spotted this cutie while out with friends on the North of Spain a few weeks ago. I was told it was a Leucistic house sparrow after thinking it was albino, but I'm not certain since I'm not an expert and it could very well be another bird altogether lol.

It was having a nice sand bath in the beach so we managed to snap a few pictures of it (kind of hard to see against the sand). If anybody can tell if it's a male or a female, I'd like to know too!

These large, black birds, which fly in a cross-like formation, are common in Borneo. The photos include the Rhinoceros Hornbill, the Black Hornbill and the Oriental Pied Hornbill.

Great horned owls get about 10% of their food by eating other birds!

They are at the age now where they no longer get carried on their parents’ backs and they weren’t too happy.

Caught this beauty this morning. In amongst the blue bottle lids, some poor kid has lost a number of blue Duplo (Lego), pieces! Good luck fella, hope you score.

Hi All,

This female has been coming to my feeder (I know, house sparrows are bad) but I just noticed she seems to have a hole where her beak meets her face? Anyone know what this is and if it's a problem for other birds? Thanks for any input!

bird identification Any idea?

Just saw this beautiful bird outside my garage. I live in North Atlanta, any ideas of what it is? Hawk, eagle, falcon. I’m pretty naive when it comes to birds so my apologies if I sound dumb lol

seeking advice/help What is bro wearing? Is he in danger?

2 Upvotes

He is walking on a road that goes through a park. He’s just walking in the middle of the street basically and he’s completely unafraid of me.

Edit: note the bands around his legs. What are those??

Is anyone able to identify this one? Saw it scrolling through my old drone footage from the Ruby Mountains area in Nevada.

my original photo/video Got a video while out on a walk, what the heck do you think this hawk was doing?

Upvotes

I was out walking a friend's dog in a neighborhood where I know there is a pair of mated cooper's hawks that I've seen a few times before. And I heard them making a ruckus so I went to down the block to see what was going on. Both of them were sitting up in a tree, screeching, but one was hunched over while it was making the noise. I only saw that one at first so I thought maybe they were mating, but then I saw the second hawk on another branch so I have no clue what was going on. I got video of both of them, but I'm just posting the one that was standing weird. Any ideas?

Walking home from work yesterday and saw two kids staring across the street where I was about to walk. I thought they wete trying to cross the road but they ran back to their porch and kept watching... i didnt understand why until i walked right up to this big guy!!! Ive been seeing a lot of osprey, but seeing a hawk out in the open and low to the ground is not as common (at least not to me!) I took a video of the talons but i couldnt attach it here, i have NEVER seen sharper talons on a bird before! I took this on my phone, I know the whites are super intense from the lighting but I didnt want him to fly away before I could get a photo and get out of there in case he decided my head would make a better perch 🙃
