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.

Beautiful. That pink/purple colour is especially nice

Nice detail. Was it just to fat or stupid to move, or have you a long lens?

Pigeons always have a sort of ‘lights on but nobody home’ thing going on don’t they poor little guys. Compression in the background says long lens to me but who knows 🤔

Thanks! Haha both. This was taken about 5 feet away at about 200mm. They’re very used to people
