Three leggy white and black birds stand in choppy water. They have long thin curved beaks. One has its head tucked. Their reflections dance on the water.
My #3sDay choice is this #AmericanAvocet group. How can a bird look elegant and ridiculous at the same time?! #birds #WildlifePhotography #ECK
For today, the #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WaterDroplets, birds with drops of water on their bodies, #OneLeg is the alternate theme, birds who stand on one leg.

I have so many side views of birds, it was difficult to choose today. 🤷🏻♂️

A pair of American Avocets build a scrape nest in the soft soil.
An Osprey carries a branch to the nest.
A Great Egret steals a branch from another's nest to build his own.
A Dark-eyed Junco gathers material for his nest.
Four for #BirdOfTheDay #NestBuilders
Even though it doesn't look like it, the Avocets are building a "scrape nest." As for the rest...

A large group of white and brown American Avocets circling the gray waters of a pond lined with brown grasses to deter a predator. There was a Northern Harrier flying near them. Behind the pond are houses in teal, red and white, with green hills in the background and hazy blue and white skies above.

"An American avocet (Recurvirostra americana) stands in the shallow waters of a bayou, its long, slender legs barely disturbing the surface as it forages with quiet intent. The bird’s plumage is a graceful blend of crisp white and warm cinnamon-brown, with soft patches of color brushed across its wings and back like a watercolor painting. Its signature beak—long, thin, and elegantly upturned—extends forward, and at its very tip, a single droplet of water clings, suspended in a moment of stillness. That droplet, glinting in the light, captures the delicacy of the avocet’s motion: precise, patient, and attuned to the rhythms of the bayou. Beneath the bird, the water reflects its form with near-perfect clarity, doubling the curve of its beak and the gentle slope of its body. Ripples and tiny bubbles gather around its legs, hinting at subtle movement in an otherwise tranquil scene. In the background, a weathered wooden structure—perhaps a dock or pier—adds a rustic frame to the composition, grounding the image in place and time. The avocet, caught mid-search, becomes a symbol of quiet grace, its mirrored reflection and beaded beak offering a moment of poetic stillness in the watery world it inhabits." - Copilot

"This image captures an American avocet standing gracefully in shallow water. The bird is distinguished by its long, slender, upturned bill and elegant blue legs. Its plumage is a mix of white and black, with striking contrast on its wings and back. The calm water surrounding the bird creates subtle ripples and reflections, enhancing the image’s serene feel. The avocet’s reflection is visible in the water, adding depth and symmetry to the composition. The blurred background keeps the focus squarely on this beautiful wader." - Copilot

A hand holding up a small, 3.5x5.5in sketchbook, above some tall native grasses. The righthand page of the sketchbook has a funny looking bird with an orangeish head, black and white body, and light blue legs with webbed feet. It's bending over towards the right and it's long beak is curved upward and parted slightly. There is gothic type above that says avocet. The left page has a gothic type alphabet but is cut off
Feeling inspired by medieval bird depictions lately. Simplified lines and expressive gestures is what I'm all about. (Ignore the heinous typography practice)

American Avocet, facing slightly to the right, beak just above the water surface. Muddled reflection.
Happy #ShorebirdSaturday.
