Near the eastern shore of Oahu from my vacation back in February.
Taken about a month ago. They are quite rare in my area. He must have just been passing through, because we saw him for a day or two and that’s it.
Kind of blurry since I had to zoom with my phone. He was chattering up a storm! We also have a feeder made specifically for orioles, but he really digs the hummingbird feeder…
a.k.a me in the morning
Here’s a colourful one for today’s contribution!
Tockus leucomelas...

I always take a walk around my office during lunch. Finally managed to see and also record a firecrest. Such a tiny but cool-looking bird!
I’m personally a huge fan of his eyelashes
Seeing a glowing (b)orb in the trees is always a delight! So here’s a male Eurasian Bullfinch (Gimpel / Dompfaff in Germany) after just having preened, his feathers still slightly fluffed up....
Got this photo at just the right moment.
Saw the Juvenile post and felt it needed a companion post for an adult.
Glad to join lemmy and this community! Here’s to building content and the user base.
I was playing a game and heard a lot of loud cawing outside that sounded a bit “off”, i.e. not like the cawing of the regular crows....
I was taking a walk (as I always do) on Saturday morning around my neighbourhood. There’s a couple of ponds around and on the bank of one of those ponds, I saw two strange ducks. Their bright yellow beaks really caught my attention and I took a couple of photos, but I thought they were just strange mallards....
This was a lifer for me. Also, apparently #birdsfacingforward is a thing. 🤣
After having eluded me for months, I finally managed to see a Green Woodpecker again! I often hear their laugh-like call, but haven’t been able to see them for a while. They’re one of my favourites!...
I know these guys are frowned upon in the US, but they are a pleasant sight here in Germany!...
We have a pair of Ring-Necked Pheasants in my neighbourhood and they tend to be pretty secretive. You only sometimes see them running around on the fields and it’s always a delight! I have started calling them “fancy chickens” 😅...
One of the artificial lakes here (Bielefeld, Germany) has been drained, presumably to have it cleaned....
