Best Birding posts of the Past Week on Steemit

Once again @birdersofsteem is presenting the best #birding posts of the last week. Fall is a great time for birding in the northern hemisphere, with migratory birds often straying off course and making finding rarities in your area more likely. Here are my favorites over the last week:

Once again @Ratel leads the way. I like his occupied nest photo and this post a lot:

The bills of most shorebirds are relatively flexible near the tip and this is beautifully depicted in the photo by @dronojad in this post

Juvenile Cedar Waxwings have a very crude looking version of the adult plumage. @karbon captures it perfectly in his lead photo in this post.
