American Avocet - Nonbreeding

Recurvirostra americana

Habitat:

Alkaline lake surrounded by grassland

Notes:

These were quite common at Lake Cochise. The place was teeming with birds even at 3 PM. It is odd to me that the Least Sandpiper that scampered by this Avocet is its relative. The size difference is shocking.
