Stumbled on two geese in the middle of the path while biking home today, and one had a bit of a messed up wing and couldn't fly. Tried to catch them to bring them to the rescue, but they ran out onto the river ice, which is still too risky to walk on. Went to the other bank to try and figure out a way to scare them back onto land, but while I was doing that a fox started creeping up on them from the original shore, which I'm assuming was the cause of the injury in the first place. There was also an owl following me, so I'm wondering if he was also looking for a chance at a meal. Oh well, I tried. At least some other wild animal got a winter meal, and it wasn't a vehicle or a housecat like I initially thought. Also had some deer sneak up on me while I was watching the geese. I'm pretty surprised at how well the new night mode on the Pixel camera works; it was way darker outside than these pictures make it seem.

someone introduced me to Agami herons and they gotta be one of the most aesthetically pleasing birds I've ever seen

Absurd Alhazred posted:Huh. It looks a lot like a black-capped chickadee. yeah, chickadees are North American tits so they're pretty closely related. Great tits are more yellow/green with a black "tie"   I'd be hard pressed to separate a marsh tit from the chickadee at a glance though

Winklebottom posted:I'll have you know it's a brutal great tit Great Tits are absolutely savage. I remember reading a description of an incident where the writer opened a box-style rat trap in the garden to discover that a great tit and a hedge accentor had both crept into it, and the tit had killed the hedge accentor and eaten its brains. I think he thought it happened because they were trapped and starving but from the looks of this picture, it seems likely that great tits are perfectly happy eating brains whenever possible.

Oh yeah, whenever there isn't enough seeds in winter it's brain-eating time Victims of a great tit killing spree (  )https://i.imgur.com/KAQk2bg.png There's even a population of great tits in Hungary which have learned to peck open the heads of hibernating bats ( )https://i.imgur.com/37tYWbJ.png braaaaaaains Winklebottom has a new favorite as of 16:27 on Nov 23, 2018 |

If you think the goose looks bad, you should see the fox.

Birb loving friends... there are only 7 birds left after this one. Next Sunday will be the final birb, at least until Tony gets a birding lens again.

Seriously though please tell your friend that their photography is fantastic. These pictures have been amazing and I hope they can get their equipment built back up so they can start taking more!
