Hey, little buddy!

I heard this little guy chirping in a bush while I was cleaning up some dog poop. He didn't flinch when I reached in with my camera to get this shot, so I reached in again and petted him gently with my finger. Hopefully, mom or dad will come back with some food soon.

TL;DW: Some songbirds incorporate cigarette butts into their nests as pest control.

This osprey had just brought a fish to its young in their nest on top of this man-made osprey platform.

Found a guy.

His name is Buddy. It's crazy how much a bird can cheer me up even when was feeling good in the first place! Apparently, he just likes to meet people, so the owner just brings him out to do so every now and then.

More grackle posting.

This one is from back in 2012. According to my mom, this bird was raised by her neighbors, which is why it felt confident enough to perch on me like this, demanding snacks from everyone nearby.

I have been feeding some crows for the last couple of years, and one of them started making this click-cooing sound about a year or so ago. I have caught it now a couple of times, and posted the videos. Has anyone ever heard crows (or ravens, I am still confused as to which is which) making this sound?

I grew up seeing these birds everywhere. But no matter how many people I ask, no one can tell me what type of bird it is. I’m guessing some type of finch?

I’m in the southern part of Florida, USA, if that’s helpful.

Check out this one-eyed cardinal that's been visiting my dad's bird feeder.

The stance on this little guy.

I guess it's his bird feeder now.
