Planning on visiting New York State anytime soon? Why not start brushing up on the bird species you might see there to impress your friends! 🙂 The "Common Birds of New York (6)" quiz has just landed birdbrainer.app ! #birdbrainerapp #birdsoftheworld #birds

Image description: A small, vibrant songbird perched on a weathered log. It features a striking silver-grey crown and nape, a black face and throat, and a deep orange-rufous underbody and tail. Its wings are black with a prominent, white rectangular wing patch. The background is a soft, out-of-focus wash of garden greens and browns. Clue: "Look for the 'silver cap' and the signature white wing patches that look like little thumbprints. This colourful visitor is a classic winter herald across East Asia." Fun fact: Despite their small size, these birds are incredibly feisty and territorial! They are famous for their frequent tail-quivering and 'bowing' motion, which they use to signal to other birds that this specific branch is strictly off-limits.

What bird is this? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌏 #whatbird #mybirdcards | #birdsoftheworld #birds ❤️🦜

They were SO GLAD it was 23 F &sunny today! I could tell by how they were playfully picking on each other. They have another single digit weekend coming. I did start putting 1% cayenne pepper in their feed to help prevent frostbite. #MallardMonday #Canadiangeese #ducks #birds #BirdsOfTheWorld

Good Morning all, I'm out all day today, so will pick up contributions tonight.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Pigeons&Doves, the Alt theme is #Black&White, any bird with them colours.

A coal tit perches side-on on a slender branch, showing its black cap and throat, white cheek patch, olive-grey back and pale buff underside. The folded wings reveal subtle blue-grey tones, while warm sunlight brings out fine feather detail against a softly blurred green background.

Good morning. Hoping everyone has a wonderful day ahead. The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #BackyardBirds , birds you see close to home. The alt is #longnecks , birds with long necks. good luck. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Brent Geese at sunset on Whiteford Sands

There’s not been many sunsets lately so I made sure to make the most of Sunday. What better subject than the hundreds of Brent Geese spending winter in the Burry Inlet. #birds #UKWildlife #birdsOfTheWorld #photography #birdPhotography #wildlifePhotography #nature #birdsSeenIn2026 #birdingWales

I'm not so good on my Welsh (Latin, that is!) 😁 "Common Birds of Wales (6)" birdbrainer.app is up! I didn't get so much done today as I would have liked, so that's it for the day, I think. Enjoy! Some truly lovely photos in this one! Be sure to check out the Photo Credits link (bottom, homepage) 👍

A male northern cardinal poses on a branch, facing forward with his head turned to the left, against a snowy white background.

I love my #backyardbirds and most of them are featured in my #BirdOfTheDay posts. I ramped up my #birdphotography during Covid, focusing on my backyard feeder. Here is one of my favorite visitors after the recent snow. #birds #cardinals #nature #EastCoastKin 🪶

👍😍 Black Guillemot (Cepphus grylle), winter plumage? 🤔

👍 Unfortunately, Denmark's 95 on our list of birdwatching destinations, so it might be a while before I get there 😂 On the other hand, I am known to be flexible 😉 #birdbrainerapp

Thanks, Dorte! ⭐ I've got my work cut out, if it proves popular, that's for sure! 😅
