American Avocets

I am linking up with Wild Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes

The American Avocet  is a shorebird that nest colonially or singly on freshwater lakes. Avocets search for larvae and other food by sweeping their bill along the waters surface.  The breeding male has black and white wings and a burned orangy head and neck. The female has more of an off white or gray  head and neck.

I hope you enjoyed my American Avocets from the Bombay Hook National wildlife refuge.
