The best bird we encountered and photographed was the California Thrasher, a new one to us.
There were many ring-necked ducks. Here's a female.
We also saw a road runner and several California Quail, but they were too fast to photograph.

Hermit Thrush
We went to the UCR Botanic Gardens in hopes of finding the verdin or the green-tailed towhee, but all we saw was this Hermit Thrush.
