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 caught one of the three baby scrub jays from my backyard staring curiously at a female northern flicker (red-shafted.) It hopped closer and closer until it was just six or eight inches from the flicker, at which point she flew off and scared the fledgeling away.

Same. These guys are the kings of my backyard. Between them and the squirrels, they eat so many peanuts, and often scare off other birds from the feeders. But the cats and I get a kick out of watching them wrestle to get a peanut out of the wreath feeder, and seeing the babies grow up has been really cool.
