Pied Avocet working the Shallows!

A very neat opportunity for us "northerners' to have a good chance at the Avocet. We do not see them often here in Canada.

Such a cool bill, and its hunting style is neat to watch and photograph. We do find and see many varieties of shorebirds in the areas where we are game driving, a quick stop, a few shots, and on to the next chance!

With the high sun here, the bright light was a bit of a challenge, so keeping the exposure a little dark is the key to saving the whites. With the sun so high, as you can see the shadow, we were lucky to be on the bird’s right side for the best angle.

So many birds!
