Welcome to /c/birding, a community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general! Feel free to post your birding photos or just photos of birds you found in general, but please follow the rules as outlined below.
-
This should go without saying, but please be nice to one another. No petty insults, no bigotry, no harassment, hate speech,nothing of that sort! Depending on the severity, you'll either only get your comment removed and a warning or your comment will be removed and you will be banned from /c/birding.
-
This is a community for posting content of birds, nothing else. Please keep the posts related to birding or birds in general.
-
When posting photos or videos that you did not take, please always credit the original photographer! Link to the original post on social media as well, if there is one.
-
Absolutely no AI-generated content is allowed! I know it has become quite difficult to tell whether or not something is AI-generated or not, but please make sure that whatever you post is not AI-generated. If it is, your post will be removed. If you continously post AI-generated content, you'll be banned from /c/birding (but it's obviously okay if you post AI-generated stuff once or twice without knowing you did so).
-
Please provide rough information location, if possible. This is a more loosely-enforced rule, especially because it is sometimes not possible to provide a location. But if you post a photo you took yourself, please provide a rough location and date of the sighting.

Oly E-M1 @ 300mm, f/6.7, 1/1250s, ISO320. Edited in darktable.
These are old photos that were a little soft so I never shared them. I cleaned them up a bit and they're alright now.

Southern California. There's a small "wetlands" nearby that acts as a desert oasis, so occasionally marsh birds come hang out in the front yard.

All of these photos are from the same day. I took the camera and a kayak and went birding. I think I found four or five different herons paddling up and down the river. I snapped some cormorants, pied-billed grebes, belted kingfishers, geese, and painted turtles.

Southeast US. Got a pair of them that like to hang out sometimes.
...literally.

These are old but I never uploaded them because I had better shots up at the time. I miss my junco friends, so I'll upload them now.
I re-edited these ones in darktable.

This is one of my first bird shots with my E-M1 and 75-300mm lens. It's shit, ha. I still wanted to share it though.

Cormorants have such beautiful eyes. This is on a river that bisects my town. All year you'd walk by and see cormorants posted here. This was by far their favorite spot.

One of my favorite bird calls. It always makes me think of early summer. I wasn't going to upload this one the light was bad and I couldn't get close, but I never found another opportunity.

Seen around FW zoo at 8AM. A crow was losing his shit on a branch next to this specimen.

This collection is from September. It looks like I never shared these. I've been trying to learn Darktable and re-edited these for some practice.
