Black-crowned Night Heron
These birds weren't anywhere near the trails - this was the best view through the trees. The birds seemed to be sleeping most of the time we were there.
Northern Shoveler
I love the huge bill on these guys. You can see the small, comb-like structures on the edge that it uses for filtering food out of the water. I haven't seen that on bird before.
House Sparrow
This guy is either transitioning to non-breeding plumage or is there already. The black part on his chest will be more pronounced in the spring. The bill is Yellow in the non-breeding form and black in breeding season.
