A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Maybe - but when I was little, my mom was terrified of them. And I learned to react to them and to treat them all as dangerous - even if they aren't. I'm learning that they are very useful to have - and being scared of them won't let me enjoy my garden (which I am also learning about)!
Google search and Wow are european ones different. And, I can see the similarity with your black bird. Here, black bird is a crow, or maybe a red-winged blackbird. :)
Marked as American now. I didn't realize that European ones were different!
Thanks for the id!
And here I thought pelicans were coastal birds, not lake birds. Thank you!
