Busy birds

Just a couple of photos from my walk a few days ago.  It seemed birds ruled the lake that morning.  They were everywhere and in large numbers.

These pictures include a great-tailed grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus), ring-billed gulls (Larus delawarensis), American white pelicans (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos), American coots (Fulica americana), rock doves (Columba livia) and double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus).  I’m sure there are other species hidden in the background of the first one that are not identifiable in that view.
