A community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general!
Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

Great pic! I don't know birding but I really like this community and all the birds :). This bird also looks a lot like this one: Ruby-crowned Kinglet
@streetfestival @imcan8dn
they do look a lot alike but the lack of the black bar beneath the white wingbar makes this bird a Hutton's Vireo
there's a good comparison pair of photos at this link

Thanks! Neat website! This vireo's quite plump ;P
Thanks. The Vireo landed very close to me and I thought it was a Kinglet when I quickly took the pic. It was only after when I downloaded it that I realized it was a Vireo. Easy to mix up!!!
