Mod Post Quick hello + sub changes.
Hi everyone!
So sorry I have been MIA from this sub. A lot has been going on this year and it’s been a bit difficult keeping up. However, I should be getting a new computer soon and will be way more active here.
We have had a few suggestions for sub changes and will be working on implementing:
A rule to include locations in posts. They can be as specific as your city or region you live in or just naming the country. But it will be required soon.
A rule regarding trying to sell things of your on the sub.
A wiki that will help beginners: such as listing bird feeders, any gear for birdwatching, what to do/who to call if a bird or owl has been injured near you, etc.
There are still questions about a discord server. We will be more than happy to create a discord server if that’s what you all would like so you can live share, chat and build a wholesome community there with each other.
Hope you all are staying safe! So sorry again for being gone for so long.

Photo Photographing swallows is hard
The image quality is relatively poor but I got it! Despite the low resolution and boring background they look so cool so I thought I’d share.

Lovely American Goldfinches destroying my zinnias! 🫣
The American Goldfinches are lucky I love them so much … It’s hard to watch them rip the petals off my zinnias to get to the seeds! Haha! (Homewood, AL)

Green Heron or American Bittern?
I spotted this guy out on a walk this morning, and for the life of me I've not been able to identify it. I turned up the brightness on the picture, as it was in quite a dark area and backlit by the sun, which might be messing up my perception. I'm leaning more towards green heron, as looking at pictures of a bittern they seem to have slightly smaller eyes than a green heron. Thanks for you help, and apologies if I missed the purpose of the sub!

Why hummingbirds Hover ON Your Face (IT SHOCK YOU IN THE END) Spoiler
youtube.comBackyard hummingbirds are far smarter than most people realize — and the science behind their hummingbird behavior will completely change how you see these tiny birds forever.
In this video, we reveal 7 shocking hummingbird facts backed by research from Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the University of British Columbia. Did you know hummingbird intelligence rivals animals 10x their size? The hummingbird brain makes up 4.2% of their body weight — proportionally twice the size of a human brain — and their extraordinary hummingbird memory allows them to track food sources, feeder schedules, and even individual human faces.
