Recurvirostra Americana

I have always found the shape of the American Avocet to be particularly beautiful and was pleased to have the chance to spend some time photographing them this weekend at Bolivar Flats shorebird sanctuary. Seeing them from ground level is particularly interesting as it gives me the feeling for just how long those legs really are in proportion with the bird’s body.
