I have a lot of photos in this post, but I always reduce my pictures to 800 x 600 px, so hopefully you'll have no problems opening them.
Birds at Caballo Lake - Riverside Campground
I'm not sure what this bird is - he's got quite the "do" though. Anybody know? I found three birds in my field guide that might have worked, but I don't know. Can you see his whiskers?
Thank you to everyone who commented with a suggestion - the consensus is that he is a Brown-crested Flycatcher. The photos in my field guides show other Flycatchers that look very much the same, and none of them has this wonderful crest, so I'm thinking he might be showing off for a female? I guess his top feathers are normally flat on his head - I wouldn't have noticed him half as much if that's how he appeared - maybe I'm part bird... I was sure impressed!
Three Great Blue Herons - I didn't see the third one until I pulled up the photo on the computer:
