Four American Avocets seemed to have choreographed this move just for the camera. They were just milling about when all of a sudden a couple took to the air for a brief hop, skip and jump. It was one of those photos you just didn’t know you took until you see it.. Fun stuff.

Fun shot – the Avocet Ballet performing Swan Lake. 😉

It’s funny the only birds absent from the ponds that day were Swans. Swanless lake?

Reflections are always interesting. Sometimes they add and sometimes detract from a photo. It’s always a difficult call.

It was fun and something we did not even know we saw until we looked at the photos.

I don’t know which bit I like best – the legs or the beaks!

I think it’s a tough call. Delicate upturned beaks or long blue legs. Both are wondrous.

I am! I photographed a turtle laying eggs in our yard. Of course my photography is dependent on an iPhone camera, but still, it was exciting.
