Joe, in case someone hasn't already answered, I think the bird is a tricolored heron.

Love how the points of the feathers and the points of the cactus spines mesh in the composition here!

Chestnut-sided warbler

The colors in this really grab the eye! You've framed the bird perfectly

One heck of a nice shot, Tom!!

Momma Mallard, and Young'uns...a late hatch. Her first batch of ducklings were apparently all killed off, so she's giving it another go. I hope she makes it with this bunch.

Richard, I so much appreciate your very nice and thoughtful comments. In the case of this mallard, I'm pretty sure it was hawks. There is a pair of nesting Swainson's hawks, and also a nesting pair of Cooper's hawks; all living near by. I never saw them take one of her babies, but it would be likely that they were the culprits.

Are you referring to the ducks?

I love the azure colour of the water here. It really enhances the bird.

Thanks a lot, Jack!

Wonderful image shalu, excellent composition and processing.

Thank you very much, Wallace!

Beautiful shot, Shalu...he is a pretty one. I look at him, and for some reason, I think of Pinocchio.

Thank you, Mike! It was the first time I saw a pelican with breeding color and the "horn".

So you think there is a chance I might be referring to you?
