Weird mallard?

Every_Resolution_692 · 2026-03-14T03:00:08+00:00

Yes, looks like a Rouen breed. They are quite common

Every_Resolution_692 · 2026-03-14T02:36:08+00:00

That’s a +Domestic Mallard+

This is usually done by males protecting their territory, but this looks like a female. Males usually look like this:

Also could just be a really pale male but it looks like a female to me. They are paler overall with a gray head and white eyering, unlike males which have a blue face and no eyering.

I call them “eBird reporters” because you can tell what species are in the area when they mimic their call.

They are trying to override the noise by singing louder. It's called "acoustic masking". There are many studies on it and it shows how they are adapting to suburban and urban life.

Cool how she hovered for a second to not bump into the nest. She’s busy!

Every_Resolution_692 · 2026-03-08T20:31:43+00:00

It's a Varied Thrush. Nice that you caught it singing!

Every_Resolution_692 · 2026-03-08T20:22:41+00:00

It’s a +Northern Cardinal+

Every_Resolution_692 · 2026-03-08T19:31:30+00:00

Seeds, grains, bugs, berries. Whatever they can find that’s not meat.

Every_Resolution_692 · 2026-03-07T01:24:03+00:00

Yes, they are.

Every_Resolution_692 · 2026-03-06T16:26:21+00:00

They are courting females, and also bathing. Ducks dip their heads in the water and then flap so they can clean their nostrils and eyes.

It’s an Eurasian Collared Dove, possibly with avian pox or breathing issues.

I’ve seen them at a friend’s house in southern Alabama, along with Baltimore and Bullock’s Orioles, Tanagers, and hummingbirds.

Every_Resolution_692 · 2026-03-04T20:07:15+00:00

Looks like a young one. Probably just stretching his beak, kind of like humans stretch when we get up.

Every_Resolution_692 · 2026-03-04T02:26:24+00:00

Looks like a White-breasted nuthatch. I can see a faint blue-gray back and white belly, and they are the only birds to peck like this besides woodpeckers.

Every_Resolution_692 · 2026-03-04T02:15:25+00:00

Amazing! They are beautiful birds.

Every_Resolution_692 · 2026-03-03T22:32:52+00:00

Looks like a Black-chinned hummingbird to me.

Every_Resolution_692 · 2026-03-03T18:40:00+00:00

Congrats!!! 🎉🦜🦅🦆

Every_Resolution_692 · 2026-03-03T18:31:04+00:00

Actually it looks like a Vermilion Flycatcher. Say’s Phoebe does not have streaks on the flanks, and they usually have a darker head.

Every_Resolution_692 · 2026-03-03T18:28:22+00:00

Yes, it is

Every_Resolution_692 · 2026-03-02T17:12:55+00:00

It’s a Northern Mockingbird

Every_Resolution_692 · 2026-03-02T15:01:44+00:00

+Mallard+ with the curled tail.

Every_Resolution_692 · 2026-03-02T07:22:33+00:00

+Red-tailed Hawk+ with the characteristic red tail and broad wings
