My new best mallard picture taken in Gyor, Hungary: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/277287019
It took me a while to get this photo as I returned home then I downloaded this, and this photo is made with my dad’s camera :) so I had to wait.
Worth the wait though, 100% happy with this picture!
I also recorded my first nightingales yesterday!

Nice! I hope I’ll get to visit Washington DC one day, and maybe meet some inatters as well!
Seems like April was kinda Mallard Month!
In Southern Ontario, every month is Mallard Month… ![]()

(bad picture, yet my best so far :) and the best shot I could take with that light… it started raining 10 mins later)
Have y’all had much luck with smart bird feeders? I was gifted one recently and I’ve had a handful of birds stop by already!
I’ve had a ton of birds at mine, but nothing too interesting; mostly just backyard birds. I had to put a squirrel baffle up to prevent unwanted feeding. I’ve been thinking of adding a hummingbird or oriole feeding addition to mine, but I’m not sure I would get much luck.
Do you have a solar panel for yours? I find one really useful.
Actually I just put one up for my grandmother last week. It seems to be a great feeder. She loves being able to see birds up close. This morning there was a female Rose-breasted Grosbeak at the feeder.
The solar panel is definitely a great thing to have! The one my grandmother purchased has one.
Bird of the Week Poll
- Warblers
- Ducks
- Hawks
Ducks please, I’m going to my county’s best birding spot, so… I’m betting on tufted ducks, mallards, shelducks, pochards, teals and, maybe, pintails!
I know, I wish I could too!
I had Black-throated Green Warbler, Northern Parula, Nashville Warbler, Yellow Warbler, and Common Yellowthroat yesterday! BOTW ![]()
I just heard and saw some black and white warblers, an ovenbird, and a few parulas!
