At the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary today it seemed like all the pretty birds were out. It seemed like the birds were out to brighten my mood. There were a lot of Spotted Sandpipers around the ponds and quite a bit of aggression defending territory. These two were not happy with each other.

This Sandpiper has quite the fan display of its tail.

Just to brighten the day, the Baltimore Oriole finally made itself visible. I had heard it last time when I was at Inglewood, but could not get eyes on it. Unfortunately today it was high in the trees and I could not get a shot without a branch in the way. It is too bad, because they are such a colourful bird.

Continuing the colour theme, this House Finch shows just how colourful their reds can be.

And finally, a solitary Cedar Waxwing was hanging out by the ponds, watching the Sandpipers.

All in all, an uplifting morning!
