Avocet Party

I don't know much about birds, but I liked the reflections and colors in this capture from last year. A little research leads me to believe that they are American Avocets.

[Denise Wood]

Terrific bird capture with reflections :)

[Peter]

I think your correct on your identification, they are such pretty wading birds, beautifully captured with lovely reflected light and colours Ron:)

[Lou Ann]

A bird I’ve never seen, aren’t they cool? I love their reflections.

[Wendy]

They are certainly bright and bold. A very good capture of them with the reflections and composition.

Cute little skinny-legged birds. Great reflections and image!

@imnorman Thank you Ian. Appreciate the comment.

@moviegal1 Thanks Kerri - nice to hear from you!

@gilbertwood Thanks Denise.

@pcoulson Thanks for the confirmation Peter. They were definitely waders - and there were lots of them. Interesting to see them swishing through the water foraging for their food.

@louannwarren Thanks Lou Ann. Yeah, I don't think that your area of Texas is real conducive to the needs of these guys. Thanks for stopping by to see my birds!

[Ron]

@farmreporter Thanks Wendy. I learned that those who are breeding display the brighter, more colorful garb - sort of like people!

[Ron]

@joysfocus Thanks Joy - crazy legs, not unlike flamingos!

[Kate Klinck]

Outstanding colour!
