Hi Its Me A Bird

Cloven-feathered Dove (Drepanoptila holosericea), family Columbidae, endemic to New Caledonia

I wanted to use what ‘reach’ I may have here to share the Carolina Wildlife Center’s urgent plea for donations. If they are unable to raise $75,000 to cover ongoing and future care of their wildlife patients, the center will have to close July 20th, 2026. The services provided by CWC to the community are incredibly valuable, and without them, many wild animals will suffer without the care they need.

Like I can tell hawk from owl from falcon like you can tell a cat from a dog from a horse and so the first one is like someone taking a photo of a hyena and saying "my friend thinks its a domestic short hair, but I think its a wolf or a cheetah"

Like Im not GENUINELY judging because I was there before too and its a huge learning curve, but from my lens I am like "WHAT THATS A REDTAILED HAWK"
