I took a short walk this afternoon at the Water Ranch in Gilbert. There were just tons of ducks on the ponds, along with a smattering of other birds. In this shot there are Mallards, Northern Pintails and one Green-winged Teal.
Along with the ducks, there were a lot of egrets and herons, including this one:
I also saw coots, Black-crowned Night Herons, Black-necked Stilts, Kildeer, hummingbirds, sparrows, a Black Phoebe, a flock of blackbirds (I couldn't get close enough to see if they were red-winged), and several others. It's been a pretty good time for birds recently, with very cool encounters with a Barn Owl and two Great Horned Owls, plus a hawk, all near my house.
