Lesser Scaup (Aythya affinis) 

The Lesser Scaup (adult female pictured) is extremely visually similar to the Greater Scaup, which it forms a superspecies with. Despite having the largest population of any diving duck species in North America their population has been declining steadily since the mid-1980's, with indications that their breeding success is decreasing, though exactly why remains uncertain.

Birdwatching, creepily.

If someones know the name of the bird, please tell me. Thanks!

Update: Thanks @albertonykus for identifying the bird as a Java sparrow!

Next lil guy for my series of birds (based on photos/sightings i've gotten while birding) :3 I love tufted titmouse so much, they're seriously like the cutest things ever You can also get this guy on my RB here: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1.....studio-promote

Já viu a "orelha" de um beija-flor? 👂 Brincadeiras a parte, esse é o beija-flor-de-orelha-violeta (Colibri serrirostris), e essas "orelhas" são um de meus enfeites favoritos dentre as aves. Que plumagem linda! 🥰 Obs: E essas patinhas? ❤️❤️❤️ 🗺📍 Santa Teresa, Espírito Santo - Brasil. 💚 *Durante uma das dezenas de visitas que fiz ao lindo jardim do Museu Mello Leitão / INMA. #beijaflor #Hummingbird #cute #ave #bird #birds #aves #birding #birdwatching #birdwatch #observaçãodeaves #observacaodeaves #animal #animais #espiritosanto  #descubraoes #descubraoespiritosanto #nature #natureza #fotografiadenatureza #fotografodenatureza #ultimosrefugios #Nikon #bbcbrasil #bbcearth #yourshotphotographer #earthcapture #wildlifeonearth ���💬 Uma uma das grandes vantagens do meu trabalho é estar rodeado por quem curte natureza e fotografia. Normalmente gente do bem, cheia de empatia. Isso faz minha luta valer a pena!

Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna)

Anna's Hummingbirds can shake their body 55 times a second in flight to remove rain, pollen or dirt from their feathers. Each twist lasts four-hundredths of a second. Males with higher protein intake have more colourful, more iridescent crowns than those males with lower protein intake.

Surprised by the beautiful space and light in this birdwatch in the middle of the water. #birdwatch #natuurmonumenten #zwanenwater #inspirationwalks #travel #imagination #sea #contemporaryphotography #artphotography #photooftheday #naturephotography #callantsoog #photography #fineart #blackandwhitephotography #picoftheday #art #light #window #lowtide #tides #fujixpro2 #shadow #contrast #fujifilmforum #fujifilm #walking #silence #beach #architecturephotography (bij Zwanenwater - Natuurmonumenten) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp8XB1dIr0C/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I'm not even sure what kind of bird this is, but she chirped her way bopping around us for about 10 minutes. #whatsortofbirdisthis #tellme #bird #birdwatch #birdwatching #robin #birds #nature #abcmyphoto #photooftheday #photography #canoncamera #canon400d #canoncameras #nature #adelaide #southaustralia #sa #southaus #36yearoldpplater #amateurphotohraphy #itookthis #itookthisphoto #photo #helpme #kuiptoforest #kuipto #forest #forrest (at Kuipto Forrest) https://www.instagram.com/p/Coeyx71pWf1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
