Metallic Starling at Nest (live.staticflickr.com)
Taken 08/12 at Disney’s Animal Kingdom (sorry - not traveling to Asia anytime soon). Quite fitting as someone mentioned to me these birds look like the henchmen for a Disney villain! They build interesting hanging nests and I find their sheen and eye color to be eye-catching.

Black-headed trogon in Honduras, June 2023 (mander.xyz)
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....
