I love it how the bill is distorted and curved in the reflection. Beautiful bird and great capture of it!

@wahyusp Yes, I had the 1.4x ii on my 70-200 2.8L. I'm saving for a longer lens but it will take some time.

You captured and interesting pose. One of the few birds with an upcurved bill. I remember seeing my first Avocet on a business trip to Saskatchewan.

So cool. The upturned beak reminds me of a butterfly's tongue.

beautiful! Love the definition in it's feathers. I was stalking a couple of these down at the local slough, but they have moved on & I haven't been able to find any others :-( The cropping my pics requires leaves them too grainy. Very nicely dine!!
