While I was at the duck pond to see the egrets I noticed these three ducks going at it in the parking lot. One is a Mallard and I guess the other two are some domestic variety.

Juvenile Black Crowned Night Herons (Nycticorax nycticorax) in their nests at the Baylands Nature Preserve in Palo Alto, California. Being brown, the chicks were hard to spot at first, but it was easy to tell they were there because of all the clucking. Here's a still image of them at Flickr.

When I first saw this Black Necked Stilt he had one knee bent forward, one bent backward and moved around by hopping around gingerly on one leg.
This was taken at the Baylands Nature Preserve in Palo Alto, California in the marsh along San Francisco Bay. Here's a photograph of the bird on Flickr.
