This is Eugene. Eugene is a regular finch*, but his eyebrows** are magnificent. Snack away, Eugene!

*TIL these little dudes are finches, not sparrows. Edited for accuracy!

** I know birds don’t have eyebrows. Let me have this fantasy, and also he is named for Eugene Levy, patron saint of magnificent eyebrows.

I'm trying to identify this bird I saw among the masses of starlings, gulls and crows along Bray seafront
The photo is a little washed out, but it was pretty much uniformly brown (like its wings & tail)
Any ideas?

I like this picture of a northern pintail I took this afternoon.

This dusky thrush ツグミ is striking a rather noble pose, don't you think?

I caught this Japanese tit (lol) シジュウカラ poking around in a tree hollow today and he posed for me.

This poor bird. This "pale thrush" is not at all pale, nor is its belly white as the Japanese シロハラ/shirohara would imply. And its scientific name? Turdus pallidae.
Not a break can it get.

Busy day at our #bird feeders! During breakfast, we saw what we think is a Carolina #wren. At lunchtime, it came back and brought a friend! We are in Upstate New York, and don't recall seeing them before, although the edge of their territory comes up near our area. #birdstadon

The ume trees are blossoming at Mt. Kanmuri, and the birds are coming out to play.

Spotted a キジバト / Kijibato / Oriental Turtle Dove at the park today. Much prettier than your run of the mill pigeon.

I took advantage of the lovely weather this afternoon to go on a bird hunt. The little ones were out en force!

Working hard to keep my "Quirky Neighbor" status.... 🤣

#MarshmallowPeep has decided to come out in the front yard for some fresh air and sunshine 🌞

Happiness is looking out of one's kitchen window into one's mid terrace small backyard garden on a dismal winter's day and seeing, completely out of context, a grey wagtail. I saw one along Lancaster Canal some years ago, and there's a slow running stream within half a mile, plus the River Lune just over half a mile away, but my garden? Maybe it's all the shrubs and trees, mostly in containers, and the bird food making a difference.

congrats to the happy couple on the purchase of their new home! (a nook underneath the roof flashing between my house and the patio awning) #birdsofmastodon #birds #birdstadon #housesparrow

Bird species outside my house right now: European Starling, American Robin, Anna’s Hummingbird, Bald Eagle, Dark Eyed Junco, Northern Flicker, Varied Thrush, Somekinda Seagull, and maybe this video is a Purple Finch. I should get binoculars. Robins x Starlings Wormapalooza is loud! #Birder #birdwatcher #PNW #Birdstadon

Put a roadkill possum - it wasn't me!! - down the track and placed night cam up... What a magnificent wedge-tailed eagle found it...
