Himantopus mexicanus
Long legged water fowl. Long beak. Stark black and white coloring. Usually one or two beige headed ones in with them.
Water run off from a wheat field.
The beige headed bird is an American Avocet, Recurvirostra americana.
The one in the center with the upturned black bill is an American avocet - one of my favorites! The rest are a flock of black-legged stilts. Nice shots!
