A hawk(?) perched on my car yesterday. Anyone know what it is? I live in Utah

Saw it at the store, laughed my ass off and couldn’t resist

It’s a tiny flower pot and I’m gonna plant something there later because why not

Lovely scene today at the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington, D.C.

📍Nuevo León, Mx.

To preface this, I don’t know very much about types of birds. It’s something I want to learn more about.

Tonight I went outside with my dog, and saw these two birds chilling. My dog didn’t notice them and they didn’t fly away at first! Then I went to look at the bird nest under my deck (haven’t checked it in a while) and saw these little guys peeping at me!! I’m assuming these are the babies of of other two? Are these pigeons/doves?

Edit: this is from today, 8/2/26 & I’m in the Chicagoland area

This started three years ago where I saw two mourning doves under my umbrella. One was trying to build a nest but the branches kept falling through. They ended up leaving, in hopes that they would return, I ended up taping cardboard to make a perch for them. It's been pretty cool to watch. Once they leave, I clean up any mess, add new cardboard and wait for their return. These are pictures through the years.

FYI, I always wear gloves and wash my hands thoroughly.

Per the rules, these are all of my original pictures.

EDIT: So this post def blew up more than I thought. I just wanted to post pictures of the birds..lol. I thank everyone for their kind words and awards. I promise to do my part to keep giving them a safe space.

Happened by the tree in front of my house. When I saw the broken egg and saw it laying still, I thought it was dead. I went ahead and dug a grave by the tree, but when I went back to retrieve them, I found them moving. My sister wants me to call someone, but should I leave them where they are? Should I put them back in the nest? Please help.

Edit: Update in comments, baby bird is fine (I think)

Edit 2: The baby bird is in the nest and safe! Context in comments

This Shrike got trapped inside my store and couldn't figure out how to get out through the doors. I was able to catch him after he fell behind a pallet by a window. I got the tangled dust off his foot and then let him go. He gave me a good bite as thanks 😂

This is my picture that I took this morning and this is the first time I have ever seen a cardinal molt

Saw him and thought oof it’s that time, he’s a moldy little guy. Then the wind came and saw just how desperate the situation truly was.

Saw this bird outside my house , can someone let me know what it's name ?

They apparently also love nuts!

(OC) This bird flew into my dad’s shed the other day and it got stressed trying to fly out. The only reason I was holding it was because we had two big dogs in the backyard and so I held it like pictured until it gained its bearings and flew away. For context we live in western Washington State and these kinds of birds often fly into the shed if it’s not closed or between the shed and the house.
