>see bird>identify>pure joygod I love birds so much please show me your most recent sightingsI'm going on a backpacking solo trip on a segment of pacific crest just for the birdsI love being surrounded by stellar's jays and I really hope I can spot some mountain quails
You fucking go BirdAnon. You go see those birds.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?You're everything I wish I could be.I could fly higher than an eagle,'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Wow, you’ll have the chance to see some great birds. Keep an eye out for waxwings, pileated woodpeckers, perhaps even the rare yellow billed magpie. Did you know they only live in one small section of California, and for some reason a tiny portion of Korea? Sup with that?
>>2874610I'm so fucking inspired thank you anonSomeone needs to make a birdjak
>>2874611How have I never heard this song wowie
>>2874614I actually have no idea why! I know about their California population because my local Audubon uses it as its logo, but I've never seen one myself. I should look into that hehe thanks anon
>>2874620Do you know which section of the PCT you’re doing? Plan on bringing a camera? Which? Lenses?
>>2874614Also beautiful cooper's hawks mating kek. And I had to make a double take when you said pileated woodpeckers cause I forgot their range extends to norcal, that's fucking sick and I need to see one in CA for sure
>>2874621If you’re further south, it would be rad to see roadrunners. Bucket list bird for me.
>>2874622Not a coopers, but might as well be. This is some Taiwanese hawk that fits the same niche
>>2874624I meant in regards to the birds fucking. I know I posted an owl. These were also from Taiwan.
>>2874625Taiwanese seven color bird
>>2874626

>>2874621Are these your pics anon? Cause they're great man. I shoot on a cheap ass Lumix fz80 but it does the job. I love binoc birding more than taking pictures but I also cheaped out on the binocs lmaoI'm thinking a southern chunk of section i but I'm not sure yet. Need more research
>>2874624Haha my American bias got the best of me. These are some incredible shot anon! What do you use?
>>2874628Skull emoji
>>2874627The hoatzin, near mishualli, Ecuador A big bucket list bird for me
>>2874633BEAUTIFUL shot anon! I'm really impressed. My biggest bucket list bird is the green broadbill because I love that lil guy so very much. Lil guy in question pictured here, but I doubt I'm going to the jungles of Malaysia anytime soon kek
>>2874629 they’re mine, and I’ll continue posting if you like them. I’ve quite the variety of birds in my time traveling. Not sure what species this is, maybe another one of you bird brains can sort it out. Pic taken in la coca, Ecuador
>>2874635Obligatory kingfisher. Thailand.
>>2874635Yes I love them anon, thanks for sharing! Once I save up a backpacking trip to South America seems very very tempting now

>>2874595Birb
>>2874643>>2874642>>2874635>>2874633Damn bro, those are some gorgeous photos.What camera/lenses are you shooting with? What post-processing do you do?I wish I was a better photographer. Sometimes I get lucky with something half-decent like picrel but most of the shots I take when I'm /out/ just end up being generic vacation snaps that no one except my mother would be interested in seeing. I dunno if it's a lack of knowledge of photography technique or if I just don't have a good eye for composition.Any advice?
>>2874711That anon is shooting from far away with a really long telephoto lens that causes the background to blur nicely. Beyond that, just rule of thirds.
if you live in the US try visiting south-eastern Arizonait is easily the best birdwatching area in the country.You can find Elegant Trogon, Rivoli's Hummingbirds, Varied Buntings, Green Kingfishers, Olive Warblers and lots of other unusual birds that are really hard to find in other places.
>>2874595>stellars jaysi hate those faggot birds so much.noisy, noisy fuckers with obnoxious calls. genocide every other bird species in the area (particularly hummingbirds)they are pretty though.
This is the second out of three years I’ve had the same mated pair of Cooper’s Hawks hatch and fledge 3 chicks. Didn’t come back last year but back again with another 3 chicks. Feels good bros.
>>2874786God dammit.
>>2874595I saw fella on the beach being mobbed by seagulls
>>2874623Go to Anzo Borrego, This little guy went up to us to beg for food. Gave him some beef jerky
>>2874623I see these bros multiple times a month. Very cool, majestic bird to see. The natives state seeing them is good luck because their prints leave an X shape therefore evil spirits cannot determine which way they have gone. Excuse my poor photo.
One of the baby hawks sitting on the kids’ swingset.
A Kangaroo got merked on the very edge of the property at work and for the last 2 weeks there's been like 9 Whistling Kites hanging around the corpse, it's hard to get a photo of them all together because they almost all get spooped by the buggy and fly away. It's weird seeing that many big birds of prey chilling together.
>>2874767A few years ago I was walking in the woods and I heard a bird doing the most intricate and musical calls, and it sounded almost like it was mimicking other birdcalls and mashing them up. So I followed the sound until I could see what kind of bird it was and to my great surprise it was a Stellers jay. It kept doing that for a couple minutes and then it went back to doing the normal CAW CAW CAW like it noticed me watching it. Wish I took a video
>>2874622I hate cooper's hawks they always screech in the morning and they're always out around where I'm camping.
>>2874595It ain't much, but we get a ton of corvids in and around my place that bully the little birds and drop food into our fucking bird baths so they can soften things up to swallow them, including a couple of regular ravens who bully absolutely everyone and who won't make a goddamn messThat and I often see duckies out in the river and the manmade lake :3
>>2874987>goes camping>what’s with all these god damned birds?!Maybe you should just stay in your mom’s basement?
Getting close to seabirds is hard, especially with a small lens.

>>2875617sounds like a career option for when Hollywood wont have a certain islander anymoreif only roids didnt shrink privates
Anyone know what this bright boy is? Saw it on the eastern front of the north cascades at around 3500 ft next to a raging creek, date is obvious.
>>2876624Western Tanager, always a treat to see one, they summer all over the west.
