#Canadiangeese Chaos and fun! The #ducks aren't amused lol. #MallardMonday #birds #birdsofbluesky #lightsoutformigratorybirds #ABABirds #Audubon #WhatBird #birdsoftheworld There were NO #geese here (except for GOOSIE-GOO who never leaves). 4 families flew in exactly at sunset to sleep here.

What bird is this? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌎 #whatbird | #birdsoftheworld | #birds 🦉

A close-up photo of a relatively large bird (43–56 cm / 17–22 in long) resting on the back of a white outdoor chair. It features a white face and breast, a slender black crest of curled feathers on top of its head, vibrant blue upper back and wing plumage, and a thin black band wrapped around its upper chest.

Clue: Look for a striking crest and a long, graceful tail—this vocal Central American bird is a colourful member of the crow and jay family!

Fun Fact: These birds are cooperative breeders with a unique social system: female offspring often stay with their parents to help incubate eggs and feed future broods.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

What bird is this? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌎🌍🌏 #whatbird | #birdsoftheworld | #birds 🦉

A photo of a relatively small, cosmopolitan bird (15–19 cm / 5.9–7.5 in long) perched on a mossy branch against a soft green background. The bird features vibrant steel-blue upperparts, a dark rust-red forehead and throat, an off-white underside, and long, distinctive tail streamers extending past its wings.

Clue: Known for its deeply forked tail, aerial acrobatics, and love of nesting in outbuildings, this traveler's return is widely celebrated as the true harbinger of spring in the northern hemisphere. 

Fun Fact: These birds catch almost all their food in mid-air—and they don't stop there! They are such extraordinary flyers that they even drink on the wing, briefly dipping down to skim the surface of a lake or pond without ever landing.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

What bird is this? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌍 #whatbird | #birdsoftheworld | #birds 🦉

A photo of a small, plump songbird (9–10 cm / 3.5–4 in long) perched on a thin, thorny twig. It has an olive-green back, a pale grey belly, and a distinctive head pattern featuring a bright yellow and orange crown stripe bounded by bold black stripes, alongside a stark white stripe right over its eye.

Clue: Look closely at that fiery crown stripe and bold white eyebrow—this tiny royalty of the treetops is Europe's second-smallest bird!

Fun Fact: Despite weighing only about 5 to 7 grams (roughly the same as a single 20p coin or nickel!), this energetic little bird must eat almost constantly to survive, consuming high-protein spiders and tiny insects equal to its own body weight every day.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

We help the #ducks run "March against the HOOKS" ( #fishing hooks that is). We're tired of taking hooks & line out and off of them as well! This was the best "MARCH" yet. From March 2023. #MallardMonday #birdsofbluesky #birdsoftheworld #whatbird #birds #lightsoutformigratorybirds #ABABirds #Audubon

What bird is this? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌎 #whatbird | #birdsoftheworld | #birds 🦉

A close-up, profile photo of a relatively large bird (33 to 36 cm (about 13 to 14 in) long) perched on the edge of a light-coloured stone basin. The bird has a deep purplish-brown head, a striking orange-red eye, and a distinct patch of silvery-white, scale-like feathers on the side of its neck. Its wings and back are a mix of gray and brown feathers with pale edges, giving them a scalloped appearance. 

Clue: This South American native looks like your everyday city pigeon went to a high-end salon. Look closely at those unique, silvery-white "scales" dressing up its neck!

Fun fact: Despite being a wild forest and farmland bird, it has actually expanded its territory massively into big cities over recent decades, adapting flawlessly to urban life just like its famous rock pigeon cousins.

#Canadiangoose (who thinks he's a #duck) is obsessed w/peas. None of the other #geese seem to care for them surprisingly. I actually have to physically block him after he gets some so the ducks can get any lol. #MallardMonday #lightsoutformigratorybirds #birdsofbluesky #birdsoftheworld #whatbird

What bird is this? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌏 #whatbird | #birdsoftheworld | #birds 🦉

A side profile photo of a small bird (15–17 cm / 6–6.7 in long) perched vertically on a reed. It has an olive-grey body, a bright yellow face, and a distinctive thin white plume running along the side of its neck.

Clue: Listen for the cheerful "chick-o-wee" call of this Australian native—its signature white neck stripe gives its common name away!

Fun Fact: To drink nectar, this bird relies on a special brush-like tongue that features roughly 60 tiny bristles designed to soak up liquid efficiently.

What bird is this? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌍 #whatbird | #birdsoftheworld | #birds 🦉

A photo of a stocky, medium-sized bird (28–30 cm / 11–12 in long), perched sideways on a curved tree branch. It has a creamy, pale tan head and chest, a dark brown back, and vibrant royal blue and teal feathers on its lower body and wings, with a strong, heavy black beak.

Clue: With a crown of cream and wings of brilliant cobalt, this West African acrobat is named after its signature aerial acrobatic displays!

Fun Fact: To impress a potential mate, both sexes perform high-speed aerial somersaults and roll side-to-side through the sky while calling out raucously!

What bird is this? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌏 #whatbird | #birdsoftheworld | #birds 🦉

A front-facing, close-up portrait photo of a medium-to-large, nocturnal raptor (45–57 cm / 18–22 in long) perched on a wooden beam against a dark background. It features striking, dark round eyes framed by a rufous-brown facial disc with distinctive white, eyebrow-like markings and a sharp, light-coloured beak. Its body has fine horizontal brown-and-white barring along its chest, transitioning to rich brown wing feathers.

Clue: I am a large, earless forest predator native to South and Southeast Asia, named after my rich, timber-toned feathers and woodland home. 

Fun Fact: When threatened or disturbed while roosting during the day, this secretive nocturnal hunter will stand completely still, pull its feathers in tight, and compress its body to camouflage itself as a broken tree branch or stub of wood!

What bird is this? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌎 #whatbird | #birdsoftheworld | #birds 🦉

A photo of a male bird (40–56 cm / 16–22 in long) swimming on calm, bright blue water, creating gentle ripples and a soft reflection. It features a chestnut-red head, striking yellow eye, black breast, light gray back, and a blue bill tipped with black.

Clue: This diving bird's common name comes from the male's fiery head colour!

Fun Fact: Females of this species are famous brood parasites—they frequently lay their eggs in the nests of other ducks (including Canvasbacks, Mallards, and even other Redheads), letting the host species raise their ducklings!

What bird is this? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌍🌏 #whatbird | #birdsoftheworld | #birds 🦉

A photo of a small songbird (13–14 cm / 5.1–5.5 in long) perched on a rock facing to the right. It has brown upperparts, a distinct whitish stripe over its eye, a bright metallic-blue throat patch bordered by a black band, and a thick rust-orange band across its chest.

Clue: This robin-sized traveler wears a striking blue "bib" with a warm chestnut stripe across its chest, hinting at its colourful common name!

Fun Fact: This bird is a master vocal mimic—males are known to seamlessly weave imitations of other bird species (and even mechanical noises) into their complex, musical courtship songs.

Jan 2024- #cheerios (PLAIN NO SUGAR) are great for everyone! Wind is often a #ducks enemy in the winter. If they have moving water they're actually warmer in water. A great food for cold days so they don't have to come out! #MallardMonday #birds #whatbird #ABABirds #birdsofbluesky #birdsoftheworld
