Of course! During the spring mallards like to show up on the lawns.
Yeah, I imagine, this is the first time I've been able to resolve them, thanks to the new macro lens.
Thrips often (maybe always?) must be slide-mounted to ID to family and beyond.
Can't help you there but can I request a duck spotting? You are in Eugene :)
Thanks! Now I just need to ID the species.
Looks like Trips
