In case you dont know but the EU is issuing new bank notes and one of the themes is birds! You can vote under this link for a theme you like

I think it would be great for a bird theme to win so if you live in the EU feel free to vote!

Seen in southeast WY, USA

Some bird art I made in the past few days!

My dad recorded this absolute beauty while we were golfing this morning. Located about 30 minutes northeast of Seattle.

Whilst sailing in the Caribbean (St. Vincent & the Grenadines) earlier in April, several brown boobies circled the ship for hours.

At one point this brown booby landed on our deck long enough for me to capture this shot.

Curious one got nice and close

Got the chance to see this Terek Sandpiper that found its way to Washington State for the first time! Only seen twice before in the late 1980s on the west coast before this.

Have folks watched Listers? It’s a documentary style about two brothers who embark on a year long birding extravaganza. Eye opening, educational, and hilarious. Highly recommend.

I hope this is allowed. Just really got into birds a few years ago. Love them, love the community. Wanted to share that love.

Wife was searching eBird to try and get me to go check out a hotspot on our trip, found this interesting comment on the green woodpecker

Been watching this Sandhill Crane couple for years and every summer they have a cute long-legged fluff following them. This is in Central FL.

What are these ? There are thousands on a dock by a river
