January 2, 2023 - Unicolored Jay (Aphelocoma unicolor) Found in a spotty range from eastern and southern Mexico south to Nicaragua, these jays live in highland forests. Usually foraging in groups, often with other species, they feed on insects, fruit, small vertebrates, and seeds, including corn and acorns. They sometimes cache food in bark crevices, bromeliads, and other plants. Cooperative breeders, they build their nests in trees from sticks, lichen, pine needles, and sometimes rootlets. Females incubate the eggs alone while other members of the group bring them food. All of the group members feed the chicks.

Rough study of an intersex Mallard, based on a photo by redditor u/Pugsterpal.

Lots of birds can be intersex of course, but Mallards are one of the most frequently observed, probably because they're fairly common, easy to photograph, and the traits we think of as typically male- or female-type are easy to tell apart (if you saw a Song Sparrow that was intersex, for example, how would you ever know?)
