Recent birds thread.

Bagged a red headed woodpecker a few weekends back, it was a juvenile but still awesome.

Anyone else see anything good lately?

(pic related, but not mine obviously)

Nothing too exciting, but the Old Squaw ducks are back in Toronto Harbour for the winter. I love the calls they make.

Pigeons were going nuts outside my window just now like there was a hawk around, but I don't see the hawk.

Here's a fuckin turkey that keeps appearing and reappearing around Harvard Yard, right in the middle of the city. Over the years it's been caught and removed but it (or one like it) keeps ocming back. Anyway I've been seeing it around a few times the last couple weeks. Vid is from 2014 but related.

I havent been birding in ages. Once you start mushroom hunting the birding falls to the wayside, you cant watch the canopy and the floor simultaneously

Mrs. Anon however, has almost 200 birds on her life list now I think

They breed in the arctic and winter on the Great Lakes, so you might get them along Lake Superior.

Here's what they sound like

Spot-breasted Woodpecker (Colaptes punctigula). If I'm remembering the other posts correctly that anon is from Colombia.

Lots of cool birds there. I'd like to go someday.

Golden-olive Woodpeckers have barring across their underside, not spots. The throat pattern is different too. They're close relatives though--I can see how it'd be easy to mix them up.

>>634809
"bag" is slang, usually meaning "captured or killed", but in this case presumably meaning "saw".

I've had a barred owl show up nightly for the past week or so. It usually stops by just after I put the chickens away for the night.

I assume it's eating squirrels and mice, but I haven't found any pellets yet.

From the page I would second the golden-olive woodpecker, but the picture has spotting on the back while the guide does not. I don't know a lot about South American birds though

Kill it with fire. They used to be a rare and exciting visitor here, now they're an invasive exotic out the wazoo. They kill all the trees they roost in with their shit. destroying nesting habitat for native species (this spot used to be impenetrable thickets of willow full of heron nests).

I'm in Toronto, Canada, on Lake Ontario, where they showed up sometime in the mid to late 90s and have now made a big colony on the outer harbour. Not sure what the native range is (and if they're native where you are disregard my admonition).

As yet the colony is fairly localized, but it keeps spreading as they kill all the trees.

You're actually in the native range.

Their nesting colonies do that. Eventually the dead trees will start falling and the colony will disperse to some other area. It happens in cycles around the Great Lakes, but it's more noticeable on Lake Ontario for some reason.

Probably because the Lake Ontario shore is so heavily developed, at least at this end, and there aren't any trees to spare.

I visit B&H a lot because it's my favorite place to buy audio and tography gear. Anyway, their deal of the day right now is a spotting scope/tripod/backpack kit. It's /out/ as fuck and I thought I'd post it here because it might be of interest to some of you guys. Seems like a great deal, but it's only good for a couple more hours before it goes back up to $150

It is a common nighthawk. Despite its name it is actually not related to any hawks or falcons. They are insectivorous and active at night.
