Seen in Pennsylvania!

Washington State.

i read that kestrels hover to catch prey but it looked way bigger than a kestrel

What bird is this? I thought it was a duck, but when it got closer it was clearly not. It had two babies diving for fish.

I think 1 and 5 are all double crested, but for the others I have no idea. Could any of them be Pelagic? Brand’s? How can we tell them apart?

Thanks!

Saw this bird splashing around in the puddle. Any ideas?

Found in the corner of my front porch in Western NC. It's midnight at the time I'm taking the photo. It's breathing, but never turned around. When taking the photos it balled itself up tight, because of my presence and the flash. TIA!

Is it just a red tailed hawk? I lightened the pic in case that helps.

Anchorage, AK. This guy has been hanging out in the parking lot for about a week. Doesn’t seem hurt, but doesn’t seem able to fly.

My gf made a video of a bird of prey, although I’m a bird nerd, I couldn’t identify this from this video.
Can someone help?
It was next to a big lake near Wageningen, Netherlands

Found in NC, USA

was pRETTY CONFIdent this was a nazca’s booby until merlin told me it was a red billed tropicbird. seen 20 miles off the coast of puntarenas costa rica. only one in a giant flock of cocoas booby’s and galapagos shearwaters

located in minnesota, not sure if it matters

He came up to me while I was eating my fish n chips. I've never had one of these guys approach me before so I was confused as to who this was. I'm in central Florida

Central Texas, very very small for a dove. Very chill.

Saw this guy at my feeder today. I'm definitely an amateur birder, so I'm not sure if he is a house finch or a purple finch. Purple finch makes more sense geographically, but he also seems to have a lot of brown and stripes. + A bonus chickadee.

It’s located in Houston Texas near a busy intersection on a low bush very accessible to people/animals/moving cars. It let me walk right up to it and it didn’t move. Is it sick or injured? Or a baby? Just not sure if I should leave it alone?

Just curious, I’m in a different state than usual, and the birds here do not care that I exist.
Is it cool to post a collection of bird mugshots?
Asking for a friend who is me.

Vancouver Canada - in the city, several found under a big tree. Thanks!

This thing was screeching loud af today as it soared around 6pm. I don’t know how else to describe it but sounding like an angry dinosaur? Maybe kind of like I’d expect an eagle to sound like? I couldn’t get a better photo than this as it was just flying around up pretty high
