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.

Crazy photo, very nice.

Really nice to get that angle - I'd guess you were half way up a mountain at the time.

At the three peaks parking area, taking pictures of marmottes below. This guy flew close by and I practically threw the camera after him, hoping for the focus to do magic. I got lucky.

That looks so much like a raven that had its tail feathers and beak swapped out. ~~What type of bird is it?~~

As the title sais. Alpendohle in German.

Oops, my brain filtered too much information. My bad 😅

When I was there I didn't know what they were. Black as ravens, came relatively close to humans like pigeons, yellow beak like the common blackbird, red feet like idontknowwhat..
