Good morning all (it is 3:00am as I post this 🥱). I see the #BirdOfTheDay alt theme today is #OneLeg. My favourite is this resting #American #Avocet, just enjoying the morning summer sun near the #shore of #Frank #Lake, just east of #HighRiver, #Alberta 🇨🇦. #photography #bird 🪶 #birds #nature #wild

Ik kreeg een ultiem lentegevoel zondagochtend: kievit, kluut en (eerdere post) grutto’s.

Ah! #reflections is one of my favourite #birdoftheday themes, probably because I hang near lakes and ponds and rivers… a lot! 🙂 Here’s an #American #Avocet wading near an #Alberta #lakeshore. Have a happy #Saint #Patrick’s Day everyone!

Rob's #BirdOfTheDay today is #StandingInWater I'm cheating again with my husband's photos of the #GreatWhiteEgret, I've then got a couple of #Herons and an #Avocet 😊 #Birds #Waders

So Alan's #BirdOfTheDay today is #SteppingOut I've gone with a #CanadaGoose, 2 #Swans and an #Avocet 😊

Rondom op #Texel is nog erg weinig diversiteit te zien. Tussen de duizenden Ganzen en Eenden is het dan ook een feestje om op het #Wagejot ook de #Kluut ( #RecurvirostraAvosetta, #Avocet) tegen te komen!

A pair of Avocets feeding in deep water.
They have webbed feet and are good swimmers, upending to feed like ducks.
The video is slowed to 25% of real speed to see more detail.

An American Avocet and its chick sitting by some wet fields.

Scrolling through some iPhoto memories that came up and found this one! How I would love another chance to shoot it now that I have a better zoom lens! #spring #avocet #birds #babies

Head down, tail up. This Pied Avocet was fully focused on probing the shallow water, completely unaware that it was unintentionally contributing to today’s theme.

2023 Seems as if it is admiring its reflection as it skims the lake looking for food

2023 Getting ready to pounce

2014 grabbing something in the slightly wavy water

2014 Keeping an eye on what is near the wavy lake surface

Here are avocets at different times who were #DivingForFood but not really going underwater to get their prey.

The avocet was once extinct in the UK, but this bird, with its distinctive upturned bill, can now be seen on marshes and estuaries in the East and South West of Britain.
