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.

@zaktakespictures @birding Good timing. We noticed an osprey has been visiting our pond for food and he showed up tonight. The Redwings were all over him, but even with all the noise, he dove from the tree into the pond and snagged a giant carp (goldfish) and then flew off. It was quite impressive. He snagged a snake the other day. We like our Osprey friend!!
Great picture!!
I love Red Winged Blackbirds so much. They've got no fear at all.. I've seen them attack hawks, herons, deer, you name it lol. If it's in their territory they're ready to throw hands.
Blackbirds have no fear. Nice sightings of both birds.
