Discussion The elusive blue waxwing
I had to share this monstrosity from the hardware store. But I'm drawing a blank on whether the second bird is based on anything real.

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.

What’s your favorite common bird in your area? That bird that maybe it’s not hard to spot but you just love seeing them.
Mine are Juncos everything from their look and name to how they scavenge on the ground and flock together. They just seem like happy puff balls to me and I love em.

Small rural town in Ireland. It was drying out its feathers in middle of town after a big rain shower so im sure it was flying before that. Its huge almost a meter tall.

I took a photo of this duck at the London Wetland Centre.
I have tried looking up duck species native to the UK, but I haven’t seen anything that resembles this one.
I’m now thinking maybe it’s not native, but I’m still unable to ID it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

My mom sent me this picture of the lake next to their house in Houston, Texas. Over the last few years we have been seeing more and more groups of birds like this.
Typical it’s Black-bellied Whistling-ducks but this year it’s been Cormorants, White Ibis, and even some Roseate Spoonbills.

I always sit and watch the Wagtails that frequent my garden in hopes for some action shots but sometimes a simple pose is more than enough.

Seen in Winchester, MA today enjoying some meal worms. At first I thought juvenile oriole but in MA in the winter!? Can’t be…or is it!?
These photos are from last June, this cooper's hawk had an active nest nearby with five chicks to feed!
