The past two days I've had 3 SPOTTED SANDPIPERS and two SOLITARY SANDPIPERS
seen from the yard. They are feeding on the muddy edges of the lake that
borders my backyard. I've also had one GREAT CRESTED FLYCATCHER here almost
constantly for the past 5 days. There are some great tree holes in the
woods behind my house--I'm hoping maybe this one will stay and nest.
Here's a link to a pic of the solitary:

For anyone interested, here are links to pics of some of the ROSE-BREASTED
GROSBEAKS visiting my yard:

And, pics of the male HOUSE WREN, who as of yet is still singing daily and
awaiting the arrival of a female:
