My first time with American Avocets

My first time with American Avocets

posted in: Wildlife | 0

I had the most fun finding these awesome little birds in a local park.  Amazing!  They are the most unique birds with super long beaks and blue legs!  I really enjoy watching them in the water as they enjoyed the beautiful spring morning.  The trick to seeing such wonderful wildlife is getting there early in the morning.  I had the park to myself for a little while first thing in the morning.  It was me and the birds.  I tend to get lost in my photo taking anyways, so I barely noticed when other people started showing up.  This included those coming to exercise in the park – walkers, dogs, joggers, and other photographers.  I get lost in the moment until the light becomes too harsh.  Depending in the time of year, this is usually about 3 hours after sunrise.
