A couple of shots from #MageeMarsh today, a Sandhill Crane taking off. They're such remarkable creatures. Also they're 4 feet tall and only weight 11lbs which doesn't seem real to me. What are birds even?

Two duck-like birds on a green lawn. The birds are grey with brown heads and wings and a brown ring around their necks. The birds have webbed feet.

I’m trying to figure out what type of birds these are. I saw them today in Los Angeles (San Fernando Valley) but they don’t look like any ducks I’m used to seeing.

Anyone have any help? My bird book was no help. #bird #birding #birdID #help

A house sparrow (Passer domesticus) on a stump with some interesting orange fungus - like popcorn cheetos. With a loophole for fruit, I think this colour is nature's way of saying 'Do not eat'. Riddiford Gardens, Lower Hutt.

They are not my favorite birds, but chicks are cute and they adults are very loyal to the babies.

More pics to come tomorrow however here is a sampling of common loons we viewed in various bodies of water and lighting conditions out on the East End/Montauk this weekend. I adore loons and they were in abundance. #birding #birds #usbirds #montauk
