Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

These fucks nested in my front yard. Then when their chick got stuck in a drain I rescued it while being assaulted (swooped is an understatement) constantly. I had to gear up with a bike helment, glases, towel and stick to fend them off while doing it. FYI they have sharp spurs on their wings and they know how to use them. They would also just swoop me walking to and from the car. They also make a lot of noise all the time.
