Hummingbirds showed up. I got like 1 pair this year, don't see them much just using feeders in the evening. Ruby throated.

Also a nice rose breasted grosbeak living in my back yard doing a lot of singing and using my bird feeders frequently. He's a nice guy.

Are starlings causing trouble? Never heard of anyone shooting starlings but then again I live in a country where shooting any kind of bird is just uncommon (and would probably get you in some trouble with nature protection organisations), even if it's geese destroying fields.

I have no knowledge of birding except for what my tism has made me curious about, but I hear the starlings at my work do this "weeoo-weeoo" siren-like call regularly and I constantly wonder whether it's a natural vocalization or mimicry of an old car-alarm/police siren. I learned about their mimicry when I saw one flawlessly imitating a red-tailed hawk's screech. Anyone else hear this starling call or are they mimicking manmade sounds specific to these birds habitat

A few weeks ago there was a group of 90 pelicans in a park near me. They've split up a bit since then but there are still few groups over a dozen.

There's an injured sandhill crane hanging out in a park on the other end of the city I've been meaning to go watch. They never stop in the city and that one has been hanging out with the geese.

They are migratory, they are probably hanging out there for the season. You can see they are breeding or about to begin breeding because some of them grown "horns" on their bill. Their face changes color to pink and yellow during the height of breeding season too and they sometimes grow a little plume on top of their head.
I thought I had a picture but I guess not, here is one from Cornell.

Same with wetlands that can't be (easily) developed on in cities. Right between my local Walmart and the mall there's a few acres of bog with a thin wall of trees around it, makes a good bird watching spot especially if you show up before 7am or so. Tons of litter though, nobody cleans it up.

Those are lovely birds. I live just hair too far south to see them in the summer. They (supposedly) migrate through my area, but I haven't been able to spot one yet.

They can be found in most of the eastern US during migration, but it's a short window. In some spots like Florida you can only really find them for about three weeks. Check fruit trees during migration, like mulberries.

I recently saw a kingfisher catch a fish on a kayak trip. I was never in one place long enough to observe them till now I guess. I heard the call and looked over just as he was diving into the water and he came up with something. Pretty neat.

I've got one that is visiting my suet feeder and really unafraid of me. Came while I was putting out refills so I just stood still and watched her eat.

Try using a hummingbird feeder. The hooded orioles near me go crazy for them.

I have one almost right next to the orange suet but this oriole seems pretty focused on that suet. She was hanging around a lot today and kept getting pissed at the starlings that would eat from it, making unhappy chattering noises at them. No male in sight, maybe he got taken by a hawk or something but I assume they already did one nest this season so she could be just chilling for a while.

Hello. Newfag here. Also a poorfag. I currently do not have much money to spend on a mirrorless camera with a telescope lens but I like watching birds and uploading them sights on my inaturalist profile.
I was thinking in buying one of these cheap telescope eyepiece cameras and a field monocular from aliexpress.
Any experiences with similar set ups or any advice?

if you just want photos for proof that you saw the bird or for your life list or whatever then it’s perfectly fine. I have used binoculars to take photos before with a phone and they turn out surprisingly legible. Don’t expect anything cinematic or impressive thought lol
A dslr and a supertelephoto lens was the best investment I have ever made though so keep saving

A couple days ago I was fishing and saw a bald eagle dive down and try to grab a fish out of the water. I didn't get it but it was cool to watch

I have very few and shitty bird photos. I mostly bird by ear and take recordings, or just use my memory to look up what I saw. I mean sometimes I could be wrong or there's more than one bird that seems like a match but who cares. Certainly not the bird.
