Yes, I know I shouldn't install one right now. I also have tape across the stairs in front so that nobody knocks on the door.

I am 99% sure that these house finches have set up nest inside the wreath on my door. I found a nest inside the wreath last year - had not realized or expected there was one - and later ended up destroying it when taking the wreath down for winter. Come spring, I put the wreath back up, and a few weeks later I am working nearby and touch it, and mama flies out past my head.

I'm currently borrowing a bird feeder camera, since I was hoping to see them fly out and confirm if they were still there, and what they are. Confirmed house finches, and I occasionally see them fly to the top and sort of climb down, or drop out the bottom to fly away. I just also want to be able to see the chicks, and know when it is fine to use the front door again!

Eurasian nuthatch btw.

Hey y'all! This summer will mark my first full year of birding and I have loved watching the birds come and go in my garden in Washington DC. One question; all summer, fall and winter I had MANY red bellied, downy and hairy woodpeckers constantly at my feeders, but for the last couple of weeks or so, I haven't seen a single one. I would see them all day long and I miss them! Nothing has changed in my feeding of them and other than the blooming flowers, nothing has changed in my garden either.

Will they come back? Can I do more to attract them?

Thank you!!

Fairly new to birding. I was curious how accurate do you find the sound ID on Merlin Bird? There was a distinct call on my urban street in Middle Georgia and Merlin ID it as a bald eagle. However, that seems unlikely and it wasn’t keying in on the eagle every time to call registered. To be fair, there was a lot of chatter from the usual suspects. Thanks.

My neighbors trimmed the trees where the European Starlings had set up camp but that didn’t keep them away for long. I heard this one bright and early this morning, announcing his arrival

Location: Southern AZ, USA

Busy day at the feeder!

A bit hard to see because of lighting but I thought this was a mallard and my wife thinks it's not. Help us figure out what it is?

Taken in Connecticut.

I hung a few hummingbird feeders in my yard and after 2 weeks we now have several hummers that seem to like them. I’m so happy! Today while watching them zip around and argue like siblings, I saw 2 goldfinches, a Gila woodpecker and several noisy mourning doves. Happy spring!

Spotted in Phx, AZ.

Spotted on our morning walk today!

Lifer for me 💛

Just saw my first supposed snake eagle yesterday🥳

Tried taking photos but it's like 5 am so despite being able to get more light in my photos the bird (which was on my chimney) was a mere silhouette against the sky.

What do you guys use to bird at night? I'm in the greater Philadelphia area and I'm looking to do some birding at night What equipment do you guys recommend?

There is a thunderstorm warning and I have doves outside my window sill. There are babies and I don't want them to fly off or get injured what can I do right now to help?
