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.

Sure hope not
We shall see, she's probably ready to have chicks this year. Will be interesting to see what happens to the ecology if she nests nearby. There has been contention between Eagle and resident Ospreys since she started hanging around four years ago; general harassment and stealing fish. I would rather the White-tailed kite that came down San Diego creek nest here. Can't say eagles are not majestic even if they eat garbage and dead animals.
looking at the news, it looks like its noticeable in the southern states but thats kinda the edges of their range
I can say they are doing well in the PNW and it wouldn't be unheard of to see one or a handful of the birds die from one thing or another. There are a lot of them here. They have lots of pocket spaces that migrating birds wouldn't be and if DDT couldn't beat them, the bird flu wont
Nice!
