More from 2020.

male mallard (Whetstone Park, June 1). For some reason, there was a large gap between zoo visits, so I filled-in with a park visit.

brown bear (Minnesota Zoo, August 14)

black-tailed prairie dog (Minnesota Zoo, August 14). Like this prairie dog, my backyard chipmunks and ground hogs often have flying bugs on them. Is it because living underground leaves something interesting on their fur?

puma (Columbus Zoo, August 24)

Clover, as seen under Hermie (Columbus Zoo, August 24)

(Akron Zoo, September 11)

Pesquet's parrot (Toledo Zoo, September 26)
