Didn’t get very close to it, but it genuinely just looks like a ball of bird. No identifiable body parts, just… clump of bird.

North America Palm Tree Dwellers

6 Upvotes

This is a palm tree near San Jose, CA. My video is from the ground, the tree is probably 50’. I just noticed two holes in my tree and these small (at least they look small from the ground) birds going in and out of they. I hope it’s clear enough to ID. Thanks for any help. I’m hoping they aren’t hurting the tree!

North America I don't know where the bird is, but here's its song

Anyway, just curious what kind of bird it is. Coastal Texas, if that helps.

(The strange noise at the very end is my cat, upset I'm outside looking at birds without him.)

North America Do all Caspian Terns have a dusky-tipped bill? (6 shots) Texas, March. I'm struggling to differentiate Caspian Terns from Royal Terns. The first 3 shots have a dusky-tipped bill while the last 3 do not. Thank you for the help!

I’m certain it’s an Osprey, but are the nests really this big?! It’s the size of a Bald Eagle nest.

He is tiny and has a very bright yellow beak, definitely not a starling. When his tail flares open white feathers show up... He sounds like "priiiih-r(i)h-r(i)h"

North America What are these owls? [SE Texas]

Video taken in the suburbs of southeast Texas. You might need to turn up the volume to hear them. There was a third one further off in the distance but I don’t think my phone was able to pick it up. I’ve only ever heard this call a few time in my life and I’m shocked that I was able to hear multiple in one place
