[image] astra_the_dragon: yes, go ahead. we want to encourage nature talk. Ok thanks! [image] susanne-kasimir: I’ve got the bird of the week. It’s only a common house sparrow, but at least close. Nice job :100:!

I have a little collection of feathers of a few common birds where I live, chachalacas, grackles, eurasian collared-doves, a pygmy-owl feather, a green jay wing feather, a parrot chest feather I picked just when it fell from the parrot, and an unidentified feather I think too.

That’s probably the best, cutest photo of a chonky little house sparrow I’ve ever seen.

I’ve got a few peacock feathers, a brahminy kite flight feather, a metallic unidentified waterbird’s feather and an too many pigeon feathers.

Another sparrow of today: the Spanish sparrow is rarer even here in Spain and I usually don’t see more than 1-2 per year, so very lucky :-) [5BE5B0CB-B627-43D7-BB9B-652EB91B33C9] https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/258774687

I went for a long (7.5km) hike today at my local CA, and I (finally!) managed to get the bird of the week. I got Juncos and White-throated Sparrows. Highlight of the day, though, was this guy: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/258768637

I also got Dark-eyed Junco today, along with American Tree Sparrow.

A white cheeked barbet just visited my bird-pool! [image] [image] https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/258815554
