On February 20th I was birding in my back yard and I noticed a thrush. It was the first time I ever saw a thrush so I was skeptical. At first I Identified it as a song thrush (notice the arrow-shaped brown spots) but afterwards I looked up other pictures of song thrushes and none of them had...
Hi all, just had to share my Hybrid with you, I've had the pleasure of its company every day for over a month during the lockdown. Some days it will just come in and feed but sometimes I'm lucky and it has a preen on the fence or stick outside the kitchen window. It mostly says with its S/C...

One of the Flickers who visited my yard daily last winter. He returned today, looking for the suet basket, which I've now put back in the same spot. It would be fun to get a good comparison shot.
A feral pigeon x feral laceneck hybrid. This bird was given a home, completely free but feeding in the garden, when he arrived at a friend's place and molested his doves. Here shown sunbathing on the deck.
He has a ringneck mate, also a completely free bird, and they nest somewhere in this...
