Cormorant standing on a rock, looking around. June 2025
Saw this massive bird today. Pretty sure it's a peregrine falcon. It started flying as soon as I got my phone out, I'm glad I could snap these! Sucker was probably around 18 inches tall standing up. #birdsofmastodon

Terrible backlit photos of bird this morning feeding at insects at corner of the windows. Quite active and hard to see well, but still very sure it is a female american redstart from the very distinct yellow bands on the tail with a very dark tip. #birds #birdsofmastodon

One happy white #stork (Ciconia ciconia) family in #Bochum, Germany, photographed - often with digital zoom at the limit - from the approriate distance: one adult and four youngsters, one pretty big already. A lot of interesting behavior observed in one hour: more pictures in #BirdsOfMastodon
This European #BlueTit - Cyanistes caeruleus, Blaumeise - punk came visit our place in #Bochum, Germany, today. Shot with a #Lumix FZ300 at maximum zoom; light was difficult but some contrast and color adjustment with #IrfanView got this out of the JPG. #BirdsOfMastodon
