A few more from yesterday:

Need help identifying this one... anyone have any idea what this is? It was the size of a coot or small duck, but had more of a beak instead of a bill.

I should have cleaned up the tree fuzz floating in the water on this one.

I believe it's a Horned Grebe

warming slightly in my area- so seeing more birds- now we have Geese AND Gulls

more waxwings at the park as well... they like to stay in the treetops and I can't get close enough for decent shot (cropped)

Thank you... I believe you are correct. We are on their migritory path, but they are not native to this area. I believe it is on the way to your area for the summer.
Thank you for the help.
