Mallard in a parking lot. Orange County, California (lemmy.world)
Saw xc2215x’s Mallard in the Road and it reminded me of this picture. I’d like to think mallard sits in silent judgement of those who do not return their carts.

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.

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.
