American Avocet - Recurvirostra americanaOf all of the bird pictures that I’ve taken, one of the most popular is of an Avocet. These beautiful birds are not only stunning in their breeding plumage, but easily recognized by their unique upturned bill.
They can be found throughout North America and winters in Mexico.
