After a jolly good pop-round to England, I'm ready to see more photos of birds you blokes have had a proper look at! Okay, enough of that crud. Let's go right up the center of the country for this week's bird, Dickcissel! Cheerio! Thank you for doing this! And also for keeping your bird of the week posts interesting and generally humorous! Usually puts a smile on my face! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I have only seen a handful of these all in Colorado. Florida where I live now does get them but they are rare and only passing through. I haven't seen one here yet. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Good morning, Whatbirders! I suspect this bird is rarely photographed, but it is widespread so most of us have a chance. If you have audio, you can link that too. One photo and one audio each. Barn Owl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigOly Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I was at an outdoor tavern in South Africa. I look up and see this Barn Owl looking down on me. I point it out to the bartender while saying "Oh, a Barn Owl". He says with this big grinning African smile, "Oh no, that's our Bar Owl, he eats the mice that come in here after closing". o 9 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKLland Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 A bird I’ve never had a chance to get good photos of, but I’m fairly happy with this one considering it’s an owl: Here’s my only audio: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/578408101 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) Not a great photo, but one of the best I have from my only observation. I was lucky to have seen this individual flying around in the middle of the day: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/529189621 Edited June 11 by dragon49 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 I have not seen one in Florida yet. This is one is from 2015 in Colorado. It was seen in one of my favorite places to bird in Colorado: Chico Basin Ranch. This real working ranch allowed birders onto their property for a fee but with pretty much free rein. The bird here was great as the Eastern Plains can be pretty barren of food, water and shelter for birds and others creatures. The ranch had all these things and so became home to many year round birds but also a great lay over for migrants. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinHood Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 My first photo of a Ruddy Duck taken in 2018. They are almost always quite distant. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
