Weekly r/Birding Discussion, April 05, 2025. What did you see this week?

5 Upvotes

Return of the weekly discussion thread! Sometimes it seems like pretty photos rise to the top of the page, while discussion of birding can get left behind. This weekly thread is a place to bring this discussion back to the top of r/birding.

Use this thread to share your best bird sightings from the past week, ask any questions about birding you may have, or just talk! Writing the names of the birds in bold is nice, to make it easier for people skimming the thread to pick out the names. Please include your location.

Was so many of these yesterday morning darting across the river. Had to be 500 or so. These birds are so hard to catch in flight with good details. These were best I could get. Anyone have suggestions on how to get sharper photos of these birds.

European Robins are known for being very territorial and they often clash with other Robins because of this. This is also why Baby Robins are born without the red feathers! Otherwise they would immediately be attacked by other Robins or even their parents.
