North Dakota’s sunflower superbloom is underway.

North Dakota is one of the nation’s top sunflower-producing states, using the cheery yellow flowers for everything from bird seed mixes to cooking oils.

This image appeared at the no context subreddit, so there's no explanation for a bird with what appears to be eight legs. Maybe you can guess. Or you can just watch a video about these birds here.
