Things in my yard and neighborhood

I went for an after dinner walk and found this duck family in the pond near my house. I’ve been seeing this pretty creme mallard for a while now.  I saw the family recently and the babies were getting big. Sadly, there were only 4 left.

Saw this lizard next to our dock. This is the first one I’ve seen with a rust head. Can they really blend in that well?

Here’s the same creme mallard back in May.  She was floating around behind our dock.

Taken through the bedroom window, the juvenile night heron was creeping around our neighbor’s dock.

Our neighbor a few houses down has an almost dead palm tree in their backyard. I came home from work and saw the tree full of crows eating the berries (or are these nuts?). Taken directly into the sun.

Something spooked them and they all flew off in a hurry.  At this point it was almost dark.
