Nice.  I especially like your White Ibis photo - makes me want to be there right now, walking along the shoreline ... especially with the GTA weather forecast for today and the next few days!  :shock:

Thanks but you may be forgetting the heat, the humidity, the humanity! ;)

Nice collection, I think the first one is a Semipalmated Plover.

In the third picture, the bold eye-ring of the bird in the back makes me think Solitary Sandpiper, although it looks strangely big compared to the yellowlegs.

Thanks Thomas. I am adding two photos which may cast some more light.

The bird on the far right may be the same as the background bird

I'm sure Thomas meant to say semipalmated plover.

The bird on the right with tricoloured heron is a little blue heron, I think.

Yes, Plover, of course.
