Wonderful shots, Christine. (oops! Cindy, not Christine) Those red-headed wp's sure are aptly named - unlike the "red-bellied" ones that hardly ever have red on their bellies.
Glen, way to go capturing pictures of the tiny baby plovers! So beautiful.
My "event" today had me very jealous of Melanie with her new bird feeder. I have 3 young squirrels who are light enough still to get on my "Squirrelbuster" feeder and take as many seeds as they like. One even sat comfortably on the perch until I went out and chased him off. Their weight is supposed to pull the ports closed, but they're just not heavy enough yet. Well . . a few more days of gobbling the bird seed should take care of that!
Blue jays by the dozen, it seems. One has molted all the feathers off his head and looks sort of like a meth addict, I think. The other is holding a sunflower seed against the branch with his foot while he opens the shell with his beak.
This juvie cardinal landed on the branch right in front of my camera and seemed to like to pose. I had to actually zoom out a bit to fit him/her in the frame.
