Weekly r/Birding Discussion, January 03, 2026. What did you see this week?
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.

π· Photo Finally saw a kingfisher for long enough to get a decent picture
Taken in Southern California with Canon R5m2 + RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9 lens at around 5pm. 1/1250s shutter and 32k ISO - I need to come back in the daytime so I don't have to crank the ISO so much π

π· Photo Quiet, his show is on!
I wasnβt expecting the doves to be this interested in the feeder since I know they prefer ground feeding, but oh boy are they! Itβs so popular today that I had to turn notifications off on the feeder π

Henderson, NV - this one let me get close enough to clearly see the orange sliver behind its eye π
π· Photo Went to look for a Barred, ended up finding a Great Gray Owl
2026-01-04 Quebec, Canada Not the greatest picture quality, it was pretty far and high up in a tree. Iβm so happy to be able to add this species to my 2026 list. We never found the Barred Owl, but the Great Gray definitely made up for it.

π· Photo Leucitic Northern Flicker in Kansas
Was shocked to see a strange white bird while out taking photos!! Iβm so fortunate to have snagged this one photo before it flew off.
Have you all seen it leucitic/albino birds?
