There are no interesting northern gulls around yet, so shorebirds it is! I like them too; especially when they're cooperative. The Least is from Humber Bay and the others are from TTP.

They are so cute! Great shots! When I saw my first Plover, I had not realized how small they really were.

Thank you!

Plovers are little but chubby. I love the way they scoot around while keeping their heads and bodies completely level, almost like they're on tiny wheels...
