Thanks Larry. Very elegant. So are the Avocets. Waterfowl and shorebirds in general never cease to amaze!
Amazing series. I don't know how this one escaped me. The first shot is priceless! Aren't they some of the most elegant of all the wading birds?!

What an excellent photo! The synchronicity is beautiful - looks like a series of shots of one bird rolled into one image. Excellent reference image of these birds.
