We've had a ton of goldfinches, blue jays, chickadees, and a couple of hairy woodpeckers at our feeders during this snow. The jays and finches never seem to be there at the same time though, I'm guessing they don't get along.
Then last night this guy showed up and hung out on our porch for an hour. I hope he sticks around, there's plenty of mice and squirrels on our farm for snacks.

Been reading a book about birds lately and it mentioned about how some European birds got introduced to the New World by settlers.
Which made me wonder, if some migratory birds move to the south in the winter, that would still work in North America, because they would just cross the Gulf of Mexico instead of the Mediterranean and be probably fine.
But are there examples of birds being introduced to habitats in the southern hemisphere? Were they able to adjust their migration behavior?
Tried looking it up but wasn't really sure what to even google for so I hope some of you might have something smart to say.

You're welcome for this atrocity of a map I found when looking for an image to post with this. I'm sorry.

90% sure this is Hispaniolan woodpecker
Very bad at flying, almost flew into me and other people, probably tied to the fact it’s missing one eye and the other one is a cloudy grey.

It's only early Feb, and already, in northern Illinois, I've heard and seen a few flocks of Canada geese going north. In my experience such indicators are solidly dependable, nothing like the silliness of groundhog myths and such. .

New Zealand had a ton of stupid stuff introduced but dont think any of them are migratory. Also Barn Swallows have started vreeding in South America and possibly South Africa.

In Britain, the Egyptian Geese are kind of adapting to local season but most will still breed way to early in spring due to their southern hemisphere origin.

This bird and his friend were weird. Both had fluffed up feathers. He kept sitting around the dumpster and wouldn't immediately run away. I even got my hand a couple inches from him before he walked away. Then he napped under some garbage for a while and went away.

Dumb bird, entered my house and could not get out, got under my bed.

Left him outside with some snacks and went to take a shower, when I went back he wasn't there any more, either an eagle ate him or he went away.

The Danish word for magpie is skade, which also means injury.
So, here is an injury with an injury. Old pic; he healed nicely.

I remember the first time I heard magpies. Was dumped at my grandparents for the weekend because lol kids amirite. Woke up in the morning and asked what bird that was (5y/o) and my grandad just jumped up and started shouting THOSE CUNTING FUCK MAGPIES, grabbed his bird stick and ran out waving it around at them.
"Why does he do that?"
'He was feeding a lone duckling and one swooped down to kill it'
"Oh."
And so we continued watching him wave his bird stick at the trees.

Good times.

The pair of collared doves that come to my balcony, I put seed out for them, there's also one on its own that spends more time here. The bloody wood pigeons realised I put food out a few months ago, and though I like them they eat the seed in no time so I chase them off.
>put mixed seed out
>lasts a week
>put sunflower hearts out
>they're gone in two days
Doves and pigeons seem to love sunflower hearts.

>>5116221
I have a pair of Mourning Doves regular visitors.
Since you also have a pair of doves, odds are that they're like mine. Basically they claim that spot as theirs and chase off any other doves.
Kinda sucks since sometimes there's a small, juvenile dove that needs a bit of food but the pair scare it off.

Anyone here watching streams?
ive been following this one for about 2-3 weeks now:

>youtube.com/watch?v=QnhHoIXnS-Y

Its Peregrine Falcons who are nesting inside a churchtower in Austria.

First egg hatched a few hours ago, since then 2 more hatched, still one to go, might happen soon.
>>
>>5116304
Interestingly they come and go, the lone dove in pic related on my bedroom windowsill, is here more than they are, and they will chase him/her off, but they won't chase the wood pigeons off, presumably because they're a lot bigger.
