Cuter than Cute

The last time I posted an Eastern Bluebird I said that I thought a bluebird would win the cutest bird contest.  Well, I still think I was right, but a baby bluebird is off the scales.  I thought it was a sparrow at first, but then a parent flew over and gave the little guy a snack and I got a glimpse of the blue.  Of course I didn't catch the food exchange, but maybe one day ...

I had the pleasure of checking in on all of the super Tiny Tuesday entries, and yes, it made for tough decisions.  It's a good thing that I'm limited to five favorites/hearts, because I could end up with a very long list.  At least adding the honorable mentions helps.

So, in no particular order, these are my choices.  Thank you for participating, and sharing these special images with us.
