Weekly r/Birding Discussion, October 10, 2026. What did you see this week?

5 Upvotes

Return of the weekly discussion thread! Sometimes it seems like pretty photos rise to the top of the page, while discussion of birding can get left behind. This weekly thread is a place to bring this discussion back to the top of r/birding.

Use this thread to share your best bird sightings from the past week, ask any questions about birding you may have, or just talk! Writing the names of the birds in bold is nice, to make it easier for people skimming the thread to pick out the names. Please include your location.

The photo was taken at Yellowstone national park

I think it’s a red tailed hawk? But ChatGPT says Golden Eagle and Grok says Harris’s Hawk?

We move on to the spectacular Manu Birds Sanctuary, in the Rocotal sector of Manu Road. Here in August, the Chestnut-breasted Coronet rules the roost! As its eBird description points out, this hummingbird is quite belligerent, chasing away the many other hummingbird species found here whenever it gets the chance.

The second photo really caught my attention. I was trying to capture the rain, but ended up with something that looks more like a watercolor painting than a photograph!
