I surprised a group of two or three juvenile Night Herons, just able to barely this get photo, they all took off pretty fast.  Below, one of the adults was roosting in a tree on the other side of the waterway.

Acorn woodpeckers are busy with the acorn harvest, and storing acorns in their acorn trees.  This guy put his acorn in a couple of different holes, before deciding it was OK.
