A friend very kindly invited me to go down south of the city to Frank Lake today. We spent about eight hours at various places around this huge lake and also stopping at a few sloughs to search for shorebirds. This American Avocet was closer to the road than others we had seen earlier. They are such beautiful, elegant birds! The female's bill is more upturned and shorter than the male's.
