I love American Avocets; they are such beautiful birds. Their heads are bright spots of color amongst the dull greenish-gray of the swampy areas where they hang out.
The day I took this it was really cloudy so the color is pretty muted compared to what they normally look like.

I had to look up the Pied Avocet because I have no idea what they look like. They look really similar to our Black-Necked Stilt!
I still like your Pied Avocet! Maybe I just like Avocets in general. They are really beautiful birds.

I do too!
I’ve noticed lately that some have a slight color variation in their neck. Some are cinnamon and some are a rose color. Have you noticed that too?
