been thinking a lot about how these guys will sit in trees despite not looking like birds that would do that and was reminded of this shot from 2024 taken at minnehaha falls in Minneapolis

raven nest. I've seen this pair around on multiple occasions and I've been told they've been nesting here for a while but it wasn't until a few days ago that I actually spotted their nest for the first time!

someone on inaturalist pointed out that the orange and black bill is a trait of female mallards, meaning this is probably an intersex mallard

a black bird in a lake. The bird's body is almost fully submerged, with its long neck sticking out. The bird has an orange face with striking blue eyes and a long, hooked beak.

Here's one of the parents. There were two sets of adults, both with their own group of goslings hanging out right next to the trail. I was able to get pretty close (~6 or so ft. away) which let me get some pretty good pics with my 70-300mm lens.
