Featured article CenturyLink Field seen from the outside The 2020 season for Seattle Sounders FC was their twelfth in Major League Soccer (MLS), the top flight of professional club soccer in the United States. It was the 37th season played by a professional team bearing the Sounders name. Seattle was the reigning MLS Cup champions and were expected to play 34 matches during the regular season, which began on March 1. The regular season was suspended on March 12 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which had already caused reduced attendance at an earlier match. MLS play returned with a special tournament in July hosted at a bubble site; Seattle then hosted matches at |CenturyLink Field (pictured), their home stadium, behind closed doors. The Sounders only played 22 regular season matches after several were canceled; the 2020 U.S. Open Cup was also canceled.

Mauritius kestrel The Mauritius kestrel (Falco punctatus) is a bird of prey in the family Falconidae endemic to the forests of Mauritius, where it is restricted to the southwestern plateau's forests, cliffs, and ravines. It colonized the island and evolved into a distinct species from other Indian Ocean kestrels, probably during the Gelasian or Early Pleistocene periods. The Mauritius kestrel can reach a size between 26 and 30.5 centimetres (10.2 and 12.0 inches), with a mass of up to 250 grams (8.8 ounces) and rounded wings with a span of approximately 45 centimetres (18 inches). Males are slightly smaller than the females. It is a carnivorous bird, eating geckos, dragonflies, cicadas, cockroaches, crickets, and small birds. It hunts by means of short, swift flights through the forests. In 2022, it was proclaimed the Mauritian national bird to mark the 30th anniversary of the Republic of Mauritius. This Mauritius kestrel was photographed in the Ebony Forest near the village of Chamarel. Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp Eero Saarinen Verbena hastata Detour More featured pictures
