| Canada Goose |
| Mom and her 5 goslings go for a swim in the pond east of Swan Lake. Two families with goslings are basically living in and around the pond on the east side of Swan Lake. I think Romeo chasing all the geese has convinced these geese to keep their families safe on the pond. |
| Red Winged Blackbird |

| Killdeer |
| This fellow was walking around the tennis courts at the Gardens pool. I believe he is displaying his feathers and flying short distances to try and draw me away from his nest. Killdeer usually nest on the grounds but I could not locate the nest. |
