A Great Blue Heron is at the very top of a tree, looking down and to one side. There are a few clouds in the sky
A female Mallard out on the water, is looking down. The water is very still, and she has a bit of down at the end of her bill, just touching the water

A female Yellow-rumped Warbler is in a bush, looking in our direction
A Song Sparrow is up in a tree, surrounded by red apples. There is solid blue sky in the background
A female Mallard Duck is splashing around vigorously in water
A female Brewer's Blackbird (very dun colour except for the tail which is a darker greyish blue, and the wings that have just a touch of bluish iridescence). She is on the gravelly ground, looking up, surrounded by a few dead leaves
