Weekly r/Birding Discussion, October 17, 2026. What did you see this week?

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.

As a not-great photographer, I appreciate black and white warblers - some of the only birds that'll pose long enough and close enough for me to get a good picture. This one was in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, NY, USA.

Although the Grass-green Tanager occurs in Peru from Amazonas all the way south to Puno, near the Bolivian border, at elevations ranging from 1,500 to 3,350 meters, I have only managed to see it at Wayqecha, where it comes to bathe and take advantage of the feeders.
Never has a bird been more aptly named in both English and Spanish!

📷 Photo Closest I've been to the raven

(Not endorsing the littering of this takeout container! Lol but the raven got to it before I did) and some dude scared the bird off (lame) so he/she didn't ingest any Styrofoam before it got thrown away.
Didnt have time for any fancy pictures and I didn't want to alarm or bother him/her, but this is the closest I've been to the local ravens I've been watching. He/she found what looked like a peanut butter sandwich and broke open the container.
Didn't mind the people walking by and let me hang out next to him/her for a bit. I'm talking to it in the first picture and apparently being listened to lol
Thought I'd share my exciting moment (I'm a major fan of ravens, especially my local ones)

Got lucky and snagged these two photos while on a nature walk with my wife. New to birding this year and have always had a soft spot for Jays of any kind.
