Trogons are incredibly fun to find and photograph. This is the only individual black-headed trogon I came across this year.

Many many many many snow geese (mander.xyz)
I’ve had a lot of great birding days this year, but little compares to the sheer awe at watching 100,000+ snow geese lift off at once. Previously, I’d only seen three individual snow geese. I hope I get to experience this beauty and feeling again soon....

Henslow's Sparrow, Pennsylvania, July 2023 (mander.xyz)
I’d “seen” one of these before, but only in a “flying away during winter” kind of way. So, finding 8+ in a field this summer was wonderful! I love their little songs. Sparrows are one of my favorite groups of birds.

Sunset at Düsseldorf main station, Germany (mander.xyz)
I snapped this photo with my phone in December, it was a gorgeous sunset and I love the way the clock looks in this photo. I am not a photographer and the photo is completely unedited, just something pretty I wanted to share. :)
I've been having a hard time with my plants lately, but I think it's paying off. (mander.xyz)
I repotted all of my plants a few weeks ago and then didn’t transition them slowly enough to being outside for the summer. A bunch got burns. Last weekend, we had a short but fast and windy thunderstorm roll through which knocked over several plants. My little andersoni (Swiss cheese one) lost two other stems that I am trying...

Extremely excited about the progress of my Paraiso verde. It was a tissue culture start. (mander.xyz)
Ignore the chaos in the background. 😅 My dog came through and knocked everything over with the wiggles.
