Lesser (I think) scaup, Sandy Point State Park, Maryland. My previous scaup pictures set off a firestorm on the whatsthisbird facebook page, so I'm not taking a stand on lesser versus greater.

I’d highly suggest checking out the /r/whatsthisbird subreddit, people post drawings like this all the time and they’re usually instantly IDed

There was this guy on r/Whatsthisbird who said he was having a bad birthday but the kindness on the subreddit was making his day better. 😢❤️ Then I went to his profile and his most active subreddit was NoFap and he had a recent comment saying pizzagate "Changed his entire life"

If you still have birds to ID, the whatsthisbird subreddit is usually pretty outstanding.

A little ball of feathers sleeps atop one of our (Central Florida) porch columns on some nights. r/whatsthisbird identified it as a Carolina Wren, and it turns out this is a thing they often do! www.reddit.com/r/sleepywrens/

I've learnt a lot about non-Australian birds from the subreddit r/whatsthisbird. I can identify many US birds from a thumbnail. Today there were two that I didn't even need to look at the thumbnail for - the text was enough.
1. Mourning dove.
2. Road runner.
Both correct.

1. What bird is this? Built a nest on my outdoor fan. [North America]
2. Just ran by my car in Dallas, TX. Paused long enough for a photo. [North America]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qmr6gacujsy77ryuajr4fmb6/bafkreibzl5ebdtuix5bmxjjl46gqaq3z4eqrlysktthzddzngkao6i7mau)
