A quartet of American Avocets worked their way back and forth in the shallow water, feeding as they went.

The early morning light was behind them creating reflections in the still water.

Avocets eat little bits of things they find probing in the mud, generally unidentifiable bits from the photographer’s vantagepoint.

They look such graceful birds.
They are, Liz, and delicate, although I expect they are actually quite sturdy they way they poke and prod in the mud for their meals.
Nicely done 🙂
Thanks 😁
Outstanding photos, Ellen!
Thank you, Greta, so glad that you liked them.
