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.

I live on the second floor and even though i never ever see any squirrels, they must be coming to my balcony, because every year they bury peanuts in my flower pots. Or at least i'd have no idea who else would bury the peanuts.
Could it be Stellar's Jays? I've seen them digging around in our planters before.
No, sadly we don't have these nice birds around where i live.
They are nice birds. They're really beautiful and fun to watch. We moved to a new area about 8 years ago that has them, so it's always a treat when we see them. Unfortunately they're very shy. If they even sense that you're watching them, they fly away. I got pretty good at spying on them from inside. Over time, they became more accustomed to us and stopped being so skittish. Now we're able to sit on the couch when one is at the feeder outside the window and watch it, as long as we don't make any sudden movements.
