A few days ago, we rented a canoe and paddled around the pond at Gallup Park looking for birds. Len has already posted them
on Flickr, but I wanted to have them here as well:

A young green heron. Its parents were nearby. All were surprisingly unafraid of the canoe. |

A baby cliff swallow waiting for its parents to bring food --
we watched the adults go in and out of the nests. |

Many swallow nests are just underneath the bike path on the road bridge over the water. |
