And who can resist a male Mallard?

Hey now, I liked it first!
Nice pictures, Joe. Mallards are probably overlooked by many because they are so common, but they are striking birds.

This appears to be a juvenile hawk looking for food at the pond today.

You guys sure take impressive photos of the beautiful birds in your areas
I finally managed to capture the timid & elusive egret that I’ve been trying to get for a while. Not the greatest pics but he took off pretty soon after I raised my phone to snap a pic, so I feel lucky to have gotten anything halfway decent. The first one was taken by my wife a few hours earlier.

Don't know why, but the Beatles Abby Road album cover immediately came to mind.

Enjoyed the egret! We have them too but the more commonly seen here are their cousins, cattle egrets.
Mama bluebird is on the job, sitting on her second batch of eggs. The first brood fledged the nest so I cleaned out the nest box. They built a new nest in the box within a week or so. Meantime the youngsters are still around the area. Sometimes the first brood will help mom and dad feed the next one.

New baby goslings for this hen.
Usually there are more than two in a brood here.
She may have lost some eggs.

Reminds me of a couple of roosters! 
This roadrunner was outside the shop this afternoon when I drove up. Took the pictures through the window of my truck. When I opened the door and stepped out it skedaddled into the brush. I’ve seen several in different places around the ranch recently. Think we have three, or maybe four pairs nesting this year.
