Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

Why do I like this picture? Because I took it in Yorkshire! They're becoming more common in the UK, with around 100 birds now overwintering and about 28 breeding pairs, mainly in Norfolk. On this day there was a small flock, 5 if I remember correctly.
