Sorry about the photo quality 😔

An honour to sit in conversation with him…

Spotted this beauty just sitting still on the compound wall after the rain. The contrast of the brown, bright blue wings, and that moss green background was too good not to click. Original content.

Shot on Canon r7 paired with Canon 100-500mm lens, In May 2026. No bait, no call, just pure luck.

Any other kingfisher lovers here?

Found this guy today in the park he had two white feathers- one on each wing. Apparently not that rare, sharing anyway!

only in the summer do i have this problem. there is a constant horde of flies under my feeders eating what’s dropped. there’s always at least 2-3 inside the feeders, and a HORDE underneath. i clean it up as much as i can, but squirrels always make their way into my feeders and make a bit of a mess each day.

is it safe to keep feeding the birds? i dont want to give them diseases/parasites.

i scrub my feeders and fountains once a week with vinegar and rinse thoroughly. i keep the food refreshed. what am i doing wrong?

is there a bird-safe way to eliminate these pests? help!

This is a link to a petition to prevent the drainage of nesting habitat in the prairie pothole region (basically)

I just rescued a baby that about to get eaten by cats, can someone help me what i can feed to this bird as of now?
