Mod Post Quick hello + sub changes.

Hi everyone!
So sorry I have been MIA from this sub. A lot has been going on this year and it’s been a bit difficult keeping up. However, I should be getting a new computer soon and will be way more active here.
We have had a few suggestions for sub changes and will be working on implementing:
A rule to include locations in posts. They can be as specific as your city or region you live in or just naming the country. But it will be required soon.
A rule regarding trying to sell things of your on the sub.
A wiki that will help beginners: such as listing bird feeders, any gear for birdwatching, what to do/who to call if a bird or owl has been injured near you, etc.
There are still questions about a discord server. We will be more than happy to create a discord server if that’s what you all would like so you can live share, chat and build a wholesome community there with each other.
Hope you all are staying safe! So sorry again for being gone for so long.

This was my first time seeing one these in real life...bower and all. 😄 It is amazing how the feathers go from pitch black to bright iridescent blue based on reflective angle.

Ah, winter’s just around the corner, which means Shenzhen Bay Park is getting ready to welcome its winter visitors! The black-faced spoonbills should be showing up pretty soon, but the cormorants are already here!
Just watched two cormorants fighting over a fish, only for both of them to end up losing it LOL😆

No ear tufts, fine rings across the face, dark brown eyes with orange lids: that's the mottled wood owl, found only in India and Nepal. Have you ever heard an owl calling at night on a safari?

No ear tufts, fine rings across the face, dark brown eyes with orange lids: that's the mottled wood owl, found only in India and Nepal. In Kerala its eerie duet call earned it the name Kālan-kozhi, 'fowl of death'. Have you ever heard an owl calling at night on a safari?

Bird ID Identification help?

Anyone know what this bird is? My bird app is giving me a bird normally found in India and I’m in the SW part of the U.S., Texas to be more specific. I’m confused as to what this is.
