Although it might be several months before we see an American Avocet it sure feels like their arrival is right around the corner. February this year has felt more like late spring than late winter.

Coming up on migration and spring here! Can’t hardly wait to see the Avocets in breeding plumage again. They’re my fav.

Hi Shannon, we are with you but we will have to wait a bit longer for the full migration to return here. Maybe early april this year the way things are going.
