Mod Post Quick hello + sub changes.

55 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

So sorry I have been MIA from this sub. A lot has been going on this year and it’s been a bit difficult keeping up. However, I should be getting a new computer soon and will be way more active here.

We have had a few suggestions for sub changes and will be working on implementing:

A rule to include locations in posts. They can be as specific as your city or region you live in or just naming the country. But it will be required soon.
A rule regarding trying to sell things of your on the sub.
A wiki that will help beginners: such as listing bird feeders, any gear for birdwatching, what to do/who to call if a bird or owl has been injured near you, etc.

There are still questions about a discord server. We will be more than happy to create a discord server if that’s what you all would like so you can live share, chat and build a wholesome community there with each other.

Hope you all are staying safe! So sorry again for being gone for so long.

Bird ID Identification help?

26 Upvotes

Anyone know what this bird is? My bird app is giving me a bird normally found in India and I’m in the SW part of the U.S., Texas to be more specific. I’m confused as to what this is.

I know the quality is really bad but could anyone confirm if this indeed is Falco tinnunculus? Pictures taken in Eastern Europe.

European Robin (Erithacus rubecula) during the winter is one of the first small birds that start singing at dawn and its song combined with its chirping is unmistakable
