I spent some time in my backyard this afternoon watching the

sky to see what birds would fly over. Here are some of my photos. Birds in order are: Snow geese, red-tailed hawk, ring-billed gull, black vultures, turkey vulture, red-tailed hawk, and bald eagle. Pennsylvania, USA

    @Alisa This is the kind of work that I do professionally. I am hired by organizations to count migrating birds at specific sites they want to collect the data at.

    So many kinds of birds,the environment must be very good,are you living nearby a river？I always find two swans flying over the river in my hometown only in this year,own it to environment protection.

    @嗣音Kathy There is a river about 1 mile away. There are a lot of natural areas here so there are a lot of birds and the spring migration is just beginning as the first birds begin to fly north to their nesting grounds.

    Awesome 🐦 wannabe migratory birds! You're saving extinct species(I've known only Dodo one lol), so basically do spring birds fly from South to North after Winter?😊 Btw, photos're so cool!

    The second bird on the fourth photo has a wing injury, hasn't it? It looks like it needs a vet's help. Though I have no idea how it could be possible since it's a wild creature, and it would hardly allow people to come close. 😔

    @Lydia It is just missing one or two feathers in that spot but they should grow back. Even if they don’t it will be able to survive without them.

    @David B. Yep, I see, it can still fly after all. ☺Do they shed (with feather)?

    @Lydia Yes, birds go through a molting process where they replace their feathers. The old feathers fall out and new ones grow. The vulture in the photo looks like it lost the feathers due to damage though because normally the gap wouldn’t be that big if it was just normal molt.

    @David B. Thanks for clarifying, it's interesting to know! Yes, that wing looks abnormal to me, it doesn't look like the result of a natural process. At least, its aerodynamic characteristics didn't suffer substantially.

    @Lydia I’ve seen birds flying while missing many more feathers in both wings. It’s incredible sometimes

    @David B. Up to 50 percent give or take, like flying with one engine instead two of them?
