There was a fun Double-Crested Cormorant at Crystal Springs Garden today.
Double-Crested Cormorant with a green plant background, showing striking blue eyes and wind-blown 'eyebrows' - those 'crests'. Looks a bit like an angry clown.

A Wood Duck & its reflection.
Wood Duck at the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden. The lavishly-patterned male duck is reflected in glassy water that is otherwise showing wavy green reflections of plants near the duck.

Photographing swifts while they hunt is a bit like trying to photograph mosquitoes as they buzz around...OK, these are flying away from me, but this is still the best photo of that batch!
Two swifts fly away from the photographer, over a silvery water scene with sticks poking up toward the birds.
