I'm rural southeast U.S. so I see pretty much everything in this part of the world.
From bald eagles to barn swallows.
Ruby throated hummingbirds bred like crazy at my place this year. My porch has 20+ all day long at my feeders.

Pic related is one of the coolest things I saw this year. Had a pair successfully breed in my forest.
Its a Mississippi kite.

Canada

House vicinity:
Magpies
Crows
Sparrows
Sea gulls (in summer)
Chickadees
Nuthatches
Robins
Pigeons
Ravens (rare)

Nearest nature spot:
Canadian geese
Mallards
Coots
Goldeneyes (semi rare)
red winged blackbirds
Cedar waxwings (only in fall)
Peregrine falcons have a summer mest in this area
Swallow
I spotted a bufflehead once

There are some more but you have to be really lucky to find them. There are owls, hawks, eagles, I think hummingbirds, in the area.

>>2192567
>1. Sweden
>2. Magpies, hooded crows, jackdaws, fieldfares, blackbirds, house sparrows, great tits, blue tits, wrens, common wood pigeons, common gulls, European herring gulls, white wagtails, robins. During summer, there are slo common starlings. Strangely, there are almost no feral pigeons here at all(although I occationally see one), despite the fact that I live in a fairly high-intensity area.
>3. the same as the above, but also mallards and lots of geese(of various species that I always fail to properly memorise)

>>2192599
forgot a fairly common one. There are also large flocks of starlings at certain times in the year.

>>2192567
1. United States (Michigan)
2. Robins, seagulls, mallards and other ducks, mourning dove (if you get up early enough), house finch, house sparrow; occassional cardinal, canada goose, ruby-throated humming bird (if you have a feeder or specific plants), pidgeon, or blue jay
3. Downy woodpecker, hairy woodpecker, eastern goldfinch, red-bellied woodpecker, black-capped chickadee, dark-eyed junco, tufted titmouse, white-throated sparrow, white-breasted nuthatch, brown-headed cowbird, great blue heron, american crow, cooper's hawk, belted kingfisher, eastern screech owl, starling, american kestrel, nothern flicker, killdeer, red-tailed hawk, osprey, and if you're really lucky bald eagles.
I saw a barn owl once in Nothern Ohio- apparently they live around here too but I assume it doesn't count since I didn't actually see it here.

>>2192567

1. UK (England)

2. The most common birds are various tits (great, blue, coal and long-tailed), finches (gold, green and chaffinches mostly), collared doves, woodpigeons, house sparrows, starlings and blackbirds.I also see buzzards, kestrels and sparrowhawks fairly frequently from my window. I mostly hear but have seen tawny owls. We get the occasional red kite too. Flocks of gulls sometimes stop, usually the common varieties but amongst them last time was a Mediterranean gull.

3. The nearest nature reserve is actually just behind my house so birds are mostly the same. I see kingfishers, grey heron and cormorants sometimes. There's also woodland birds like nuthatch, treecreeper, great spotted woodpeckers and green woodpeckers. Lesser spotted woodies can be found nearby but I've never found them. There's a lot of farmland so I see things like skylark and swallow easily.

A little further away is a lake with lots of wildfowl including great crested grebe. I saw a barn owl hunting just beyond here and there are plenty of game birds.

>>2192567
1. Australia
2. Common around my area are Currawongs, Crows, feral pigeons and Noisy Miners
3. Nearest nature spot is a lake, has herons, dump birds, waterfowl, and pelicans

I'd say jackdaws.
>3. Birds you can see in the nearest nature spot (closest forest/field/river/lake/etc.)
That'd be my workplace, a cemetery with densely planted large linden trees and miles of cypress hedges and flower beddings. Most common bird is either "fieldfares" or blackbirds, and stock doves after that. If it's of any interest to you, there is also a fairly large amount of hares and squirrels there despite the cemetery being surrounded by industrial areas, busy roads and blocks of flats.

1. Southern Finland.

2. I now most commonly see great tits, blue tits, Eurasian tree sparrows, Eurasian magpies, hooded crows, western jackdaws, feral pigeons, common wood pigeons, common swifts, common pheasants, and white wagtails. In the spring, various thrushes are everywhere when they migrate through here and a thrush nightingale can be heard from a nearby brook 24/7. In the late autumn and winter yellowhammers, greenfinches, Eurasian bullfinches, and Bohemian waxwings become very common.

3. In the nearby sparse woods and their surrounding fields and scrubby sandy hills, you can see and hear a whole bunch of little grey birds that I don't have the eye or ear for, ravens, lapwings, great spotted woodpeckers, red-backed shrikes, and Eurasian wrynecks.

By the way, when you go to the centre of the small inland town I live in, you can sometimes see common terns flying by, which feels weird. I keep forgetting there's a river nearby.

3. At the pond across from my apartment I've seen Canada geese, ducks, loons, and once something like a heron or egret. I sometimes see red-tailed hawks by the highway. There are also sea(?)gulls, which I assume came up the Mississippi river. But they hang out in parking lots. Are they lot gulls?

You get red-winged blackbirds in Oregon too? I thought they were just a Midwestern thing. Neat.

>>2192567

Hi OP. I dont have much to offer, but here goes

I am in Erie Pennsylvania, a littoral town.

Most common to my home are, in order of prevalence:

Sparrows
Starlings
Grackles
Pigeons
Blue Jays
Cardinals

Closer to lake

Sea Gulls
Ducks
Canadian Geese
Hawks
Woodpeckers
Herons

There are also occasional wrens and finches. We have a lot more diversity on the peninsula across the bay; wood ducks and more exotic things I can't name.

There are a number of waterfowl I cant identify. Specifically, something that looks a bit like a white and black duck from a distance that dives underwater for a remarkable period of time.

I am just posting this pic because goddammit I love this pic and have never had a chance to share it. And this is a bird thread, so there.

I just think its beautiful, the birds, the country side, and the bright eyed guy with the fresh look of wonder and smile on his face.

Every now and then I end up in a night long youtube loop. What I like best is simple videos without commentary that just shows animals being animals.

I think I will look now. There's this one kooky but kind Englishman who does nothing but post 2 minute videos of crows romping on his farmland. I absolutely love them.

Washington, USA!

Sparrows and other little birds, like chickadees and thrushes
Crows
Bald eagles
Hummingbirds during summer
Seagulls on the beach

I live in the woods near the water :> When I walk to school I cross a field with lots of swallows that try to dive bomb me. Every day. It's creepy because they'll fly in circles around me the whole walk.

Goshawk in your garden? Wow. They are notoriously elusive here in Britain. Nice list.

>>2194769
Only once tho really. I had two domestic pigeons and I let them outside in winter. I came outside and saw a big raptor in the apple tree. He went after the two pigeons.
Haven't seen the pigeons since that time anymore.

The turtle dove is much more special since it is threatened with extinction. Sometimes it sits in our tree and coohs.

This year we had a stock dove cooing on the roof.

on the subject of birds i'm wondering if anyone could tell me something thats been bothering me for a while, i'm in London, there's a bird i've been hearing in summer that sounds like its always changing its call, it can sound like a seagull parrot etc i think it looks kind of like a thrush, if anyone helps ill be so grateful !

also in addition to the post about england, i often see jays around here and thrushes (song, mistle i'm not sure), tufted ducks in the lakes and greylags and canadian geese, warblers, dunnocks, chiffchaffs, a lot of robins, sometimes wrens

Since this is kind of an open thread
I've found a bat lying outside the steps of my apartment building. It moves but only a little, it doesn't react much to my presence.

I've put it out on the table on my porch any idea what I should do? I can't tell if it's injured or just starving or something.

I'm guessing it must've been hit by the door or flown into the wall since it was lying outside the door though.. There's always moths circling the lights there

Any thoughts?

also in london near me are tons of parakeets, they look nice but are so rowdy

>>2196134
Happy ending, it flew away

>>2196134
It could've been dehydrated. At my school they would find collapsed bats in the library all the time. Luckily one of the professors was a bat specialist so he could jury rig an IV and heal it. Guess if it flew it's okay but if it happens often check and see if there's a bat sanctuary you can call that will come take it. Here Audubon will take a lot of stuff that's not even birds and find someone to give it to that can help it.

>>2192567
1 Australia (Queensland)
2 Australian Magpies, Australian Magpies Larks, common Mynah (an introduced species. One made a nest on our roof but i think rain drowned the babies), little sparrow or finch thingies in the neighbor's bushes, and crows at the car park where I work. Plus I hear a pigeon once in a while.
3 As above, plus Willy wagtails, and there are a few kookaburras and Willy wagtails and the occasional currawong.
I used to live in Canberra and there were Sulfur crested Cockatoos and Galahs everywhere, even close to the city center. Cockatoos would fly in small groups and were soooo noisy
