There's a bird in here somewhere:

Northern Flicker...this guy was really funny.  He looks so stoic in this picture...and kinda like he's levitating lol

In this one he seems like he's trying to fit in with the plants:

Forgot to mention that I did spot a Tern at the Leslie Spit...not sure which kind...probably the Common one but I have seen the Caspian Tern being reported by Amanda Guercio on ebird.  She seems like she knows what she's doing so I don't know if we sighted the same bird or if there are indeed Common as well as Caspian Terns there.  The problem is that my picture is from very far away...the only thing you can tell from it is that it is a Tern and not a Gull...but which Tern might be a stretch.  It then flew off and I was unable to locate it again to try for better pics.

Most likely a Caspian, the Commons won't arrive for a while.

Nice ones Rotarren and congrats on finally getting that Creeper! ;) The Barn Swallow has some nice colors on it, never saw one before.  Was this down by the marina?

That was at the security check-point station just behind the building that is fenced off by that barbed wire.
