What apps do you use?

5 Upvotes

Hello, I'm new to bird watching. I'm curious what apps (if any) do you use to monitor and/or identify birds. What do you like/don't like about it(them)?

Video Rough around the edges, but he held his ground

4 Upvotes

This young House Finch is deep in his awkward phase, molting into his adult red and looking a little rough around the edges. But don't let the scruff fool you - he held his own against a mature male for his spot at the feeder. Scrappy little guy earned his seeds today. Sound on for the full experience!

This is my own original content- captured by my Birdfy Feeder cam in Coastal GA, USA

Red-bellied woodpecker looking for a snack under shingles after some rain

28 Upvotes

I've never really thought about it, but there are probably a lot of insects that end up seeking shelter from the rain under roof shingles. Makes total sense, I've just never seen a bird do this.

Noticed this dark eyed junco looked different. Honestly didn't know about all the subspecies but does anyone else think this looks like he's far from home?

Quail Cam - Doves that slap.

41 Upvotes

My bird feeder camera footage of quail often includes ring-necked and white-tipped doves. The Doves are so violent - they are always wing-slapping everyone! They also like to raise a wing in a pre-slap warning. They also like to distract with the wing warning then wing-slap with the other wing! That is the funniest thing to me - fake with the left and BAM! in with the right! Little Mike Tysons over here.

He landed on the railing of my apartment. Earlier this year he also ate the baby of the pigeon that was nesting on my bottom balcony.
