D'ailleurs, vous m'aideriez à identifier ces oiseaux que j'ai photographié il y a deux semaines ?

Je pourrais utiliser l'IA, mais c'est plus sympathique et convivial de vous demander à vous ! ♥

Photo d'un oiseau dans un arbre, le bec ouvert.
Il est brun clair avec plein de petites tâches noires sur le ventre

photo de la tête d'un oiseau sortant d'un trou dans un arbre.
Il est noir, légèrement tâcheté. son bec jaune ou orange (je suis daltonien) est assez fin et très légèrement recourbé vers le bas, ses yeux sont noirs.

Il est gris très clair, et le dessus de sa tête forme comme une kippa noire. le bout de sa queue est également noir.

American Goldfinch.

The US Fish & Wildlife Feather Atlas has been down "for maintenance" for months. It's an important resource on #birds and #birdidentification. Is it erased now? https://www.fws.gov/lab/featheratlas/ #federalcuts #DOGE #wildlife #environment

text from the feather atlas site:
The Feather Atlas is UNDERGOING UPDATES and MAINTENANCE...

Unfortunately, we do not have a date when the site will be operational again. Please check back soon!

THE FEATHER ATLAS is an image database dedicated to the identification and study of the flight feathers of North American birds. The feathers illustrated are from the curated collection of the National Fish and Wildlife Forensics Laboratory.

TOTAL SPECIES REPRESENTED: 438

Calling all birders: is this a snipe? Just seen an hour ago in eastern Pennsylvania. #bird #birds #BirdsOfMastodon #BirdIdentification #AudubonSociety #snipe

A narrow stream in winter, brown grass on either side. From the left bank of the stream the head and neck of a bird is leaning out. It is patterned brown and off-white with a strikingly long bill.

I saw a bird very similar to this is central Kentucky, in Cynthiana.

Can someone ID this?

It is listed as a Dunlin, but that is an aquatic bird.

@Krisss

I think the alt text is trying to say "flamingo". This is incorrect. It is an #Ibis based on the curved bill shape. There is such a thing as a Scarlet Ibis, so perhaps that is what it is?

#bird question. Yesterday I saw a flock of medium-sized birds (between blackbird and a pigeon) flying from one set of rocks to another, and then back. They were flying low over the sea, in-shore.

From behind they had distinctive black and white stripes on their wings, but didn't get any other details as I was swimming at the time.

This was the south coast of the UK.

Anyone know what they were? Google is not providing answers.

Today's game of Name that Birb is a tough one... no, Merlin doesn't know, Google doesn't know... I'll come back later (or tomorrow if Christmas gets too crazy with the answer)

A brown and yellow birb with a peaked crown, a distinct eye ring, two wing bars, and a yellow tummy sits nice and sassy in the branches of a green tree. There are lots of birds who look like this, so choose your guesses wisely. I'll come back later to give the answer. Hint: Photograph was taken at Huembo, Peru, but birb does not use feeders.

Pictures from a walk around Branton Lakes today. I believe the large black birds are double-crested cormorants.

Edit: I've been messaged telling me it's extremely unlikely to be a pair of doublr-crested cormorants in the UK, so I don't know what they are. Great cormorant pictures don't show orange patches. If anyone knows please tell me!

Two large black birds appear on a muddy bank in the middle of a lake. They have an orange patch on the lower part of their face. I believe these are double-crested cormorants.

The original picture, the other is a crop of this.

This shows more of the lake amd reeds in the background, together with a canada goose, ducks and coots.

I wonder what kind of goofy sounding bird this is right outside my window?

This bird showed up out back today (eastern Pennsylvania) with others eating seeds. Usually I'm pretty good at identifying even juveniles of species I know but this one is a little strange. My best guess is juvenile cowbird but that light brown edging the wings isn't typical.I don't think it's a red-wing. Does anyone else care to weigh in? #bird #BirdsOfMastodon #BirdIdentification

A dark gray bird in the grass, with darker wings that are edges with a warm light brown. It has very little neck, as if its head is stuck right on its shoulders and its tail is dark and rather short. Its eyes and legs are black and the top of its bill is dark, maybe black, while the lower part is lighter and brown. It is slightly larger than the English sparrow nearby.

Edit: A couple replies said immature merganser, which I think is it!

I saw this duck this morning and would love help identifying it! Sorry it’s not a better picture, I was just using my phone camera.

The duck was approximately mallard-sized.

It was on a sand bank on in the Mill River in Northampton, Massachusetts.

#bird #Birding #BirdWatching #Duck #BirdID #BirdIdentification

Zoomed-in photograph of a duck resting on a sand bank. The duck’s body is light gray, its chest is white, its head is brown, and it has black and white markings of the ends of its wings.

a raptor we heard near Sylvan park yesterday, doing its best sad squeaky toy noise. I think it must've been a juvenile Cooper's Hawk: long tail with impressive bars on it. There were two of them, and they were looking a little downy still. Didn't stop one of them monching on something grey and feathery above us

Merlin gave nothing. This recording has been edited for length and filtered

#birds #birb #toronto #scarborough #BirdIdentification #CoopersHawk

Wondering if any bird feather experts out there might be able to identify this feather. Likely candidates for location found (near Nose Hill park in Calgary): red-tailed hawk, Swainson’s hawk, Northern Harrier, or maybe an owl? Specs in image captions.

#feathers #FeatherWiki #birdFeather #FeatherIdentification #BirdIdentification #birds #yyc #birdOfPrey #birdsOfAlberta #AlbertaBirdsOfPrey

Back side of feather. Very pale base colour, almost white with medium brown bars. Total length approximately 28-29cm.

Front side of feather. Very pale base colour, almost white with a orangish brown tinge, with medium brown bars. Total length approximately 28-29cm.

Bird activity remains slow for this time of the year but I do enjoy having the Pine Siskins around. People seem to often mix them up with Goldfinches and House Finches, so I compiled some photos to show them from front and back. As I said before, good ID marks are Goldfinch size, pointy beak, yellow on sides and tail and a feisty spirit. The other two photos show a (very adorable) female House Finch.

A Pine Siskin, frontal view. You can see the pointy beak and the slender overall figure.

The back view of a Pine Siskin, showing the yellow on tail and wings.

A very round and cute female House Finch

Another view of the cute female House Finch

this bird was hanging around last night, i think it's a grouse but i'm not entirely sure. it didn't seem very afraid of people but definitely would not let anyone get close enough to touch it

can anyone on bird fedi can get a positive id? (sorry for the potato quality picture, this phone is not good in low light)

Owl or Hawk?

#bird #birdIdentification #BirdsOfMastodon #birdID #photography

A close up photo of a down feather from either an owl or a hawk.

@rick I don't think Northern Harrier fits what I'm seeing. They don't normally have these striking white bands on the tailfeathers and also the high contrast pattern on the back seems off. It looks to me like a red-shouldered hawk. Where are you roughly?

Have a look at this photo for reference:
