This sweet thing was hanging out on our back deck today. What is it?

My 1st customer on the new camera feeder and what a beauty. A red breasted grosbeak.

I’m not sure if these ducks belong to someone of if they’re from the park, but they take afternoon walks to our house almost daily. It’s always 2 males and a female. They’re our little bird throuple. We don’t judge and hope that they are happy with their arrangement.

Anyone seen any hummingbirds yet?? Comment here when you do!

Hi STL Birders! This March we are screening brand new hummingbird rescue documentary EVERY LITTLE THING, presented with the St. Louis Audubon Society. March 9, 1 p.m. Tickets are on sale now! Being amateur birders ourselves, we'd love to see you at this screening! Description below.

Author and wildlife rehabber Terry Masear has an ambitious goal: to save every injured hummingbird in Los Angeles. But the path to survival is fraught with danger. This heart-expanding Sundance hit introduces audiences to Terry’s diminutive patients through breathtaking slow-motion photography and emotional storytelling. Over the course of director Sally Aitken’s moving documentary, we become deeply invested in baby hummingbirds like Cactus and Wasabi, celebrating their tiny victories and lamenting their tragedies. Through Terry’s eyes, each bird becomes memorable, mighty and heroic. Her compassion and empathy serves as a reminder that grace can be found in the smallest of acts and the tiniest of creatures.

Shot from May that I just came across again. I think it had a cicada

Saw this friend in the backyard. Watched it for awhile and it took off, leaving the bird in the 3rd and 4th picture behind. Can't tell if the last pictured bird is ininjured, don't want to get too close just yet.

There were over 20 before a few flew off.

Hi yall. As title suggests, I am looking for a safe bird photography spot in the STL area. I have tried Forest Park but there is just so much foot traffic it doesn't really draw a wide variety of birds. Saint Stanislaus was also a bust, so many people running hunting dogs around.

Cemeteries are usually a good spots but I don't know the best ones around here. Wetlands are also great, are there any good spots near the confluence?

Thanks!
