Beginner bird nerd from Wisconsin. I have naught but my phone camera. I usually take pictures and videos to help me identify the birds but it is also fun to share.
This little bird was holding a worm, dancing around in the trees, and making little calls for 10+ minutes. Maybe a young Yellowthroat or a mama calling to her baby? Merlin wasn't really picking up on the calls. Any ideas?

Earlier this evening, the Univision crew grabbed their gear and started running when federal police began shooting pepper balls at us. @lataco.bsky.social

I saw an Indigo Bunting yesterday! Took me a little while to find it but I really enjoyed watching him sing.

Mama Wood Duck and ducklings. I love when they scamper across the lily pads 🥲🪶

Kildeer doing Killdeer things. This was my Merlin bird of the day and she didn't disappoint lol. Weirdo. She has a baby with her in the nearby pond who looks like a tiny, equally anxious version of her 🪶❤️

A few pictures from my morning bird walk! 🪶

Hummingbird all puffed against the cold breeze

A Green Heron

Wilson's Warbler - song matched up on Merlin sound ID, black cap clearer through my binoculars.

Oriel next to a nest, leaves in front of face. Yay leaves 😑

Hey guys, did you know swallows are really fast? There were probably 20-30 swallows of a few different species zoomin along the Black Earth Creek.

Did my best with my phone camera but really just enjoyed sitting and watching them go by.

When Nashville SC defeated Charlotte FC on Saturday, the supporters section lacked its usual verve and had visible gaps throughout the risers.

The reason was explained in a pair of large white banners.

I don't know who this is but I love them. Just a cute little guy going about his business.

Common Yellowthroat doing his thing. I really like how he throws his head back to sing his little song.

There’s no white genocide in South Africa. Trump is recycling apartheid-era propaganda to paint Black governance as a threat and justify a whites-only immigration pipeline.
REPORTER: Why are you creating an expedited path into the country for Afrikaners but not others?

TRUMP: Because they're being killed. And we don't want to see people be killed ... it's a genocide that's taking place. Farmers are being killed. They happen to be white.

Unidentified water bird in Wisconsin. Merlin app identified the call as a Virginia Rail but the beak looks different. Any ideas?

*I post another video with a call if that would help*

Hope the sound comes through. It is doing a little call.

Can anyone help me identify this bird?

Pretty sure this is a Green Heron based on the green feathers. When it spots a fish the neck will extend, doubling the apparent length of its body.

When my cat kneads my squishy parts I feel judged but in a good way.

What a magical morning.

Wood Ducks, Geese with their babies, a Pileated Woodpecker banging away at a tree, and two raccoons sitting in a tree (they were not k-i-s-s-i-n-g, they were sleeping).

Animals that were not excited to see me, but I was excited to see them.

Wood Duck, squirrel (Blondie variety), and a wabbit.
