You have thoroughly grabbed my attention with this.  And your photos are superb.  I went birding there as a child with my parents who were avid birders.

Your bird photo -- a tree swallow?

Thanks for this.

tree swifts :
barn swallows :
great white herons :
little blue herons :
mute swans :
mallards :
catbirds :
a cowbird :
a little green heron :
a yellow-crowned night-heron :
chimney swifts :
a purple martin :
common terns :
starlings :
ruddy ducks :
canada geese :
robins :
pigeons :
red-winged blackbirds :
common grackles :
boat-tailed grackles :
crows :
house sparrows :
glossy ibis :
a mocking bird :
double-crested cormorants :
and sanderlings :

and eastern carpenter bees :
and a diamond-back terrapin laying eggs :
and a raccoon :
and flowering opuntia :
