A few photos from the one-day local visit of the American Avocet. They use that fancy beak to scoop up invertebrates while using a side-to-side sweeping motion in the shallow waters.

I always think the American Avocet had such a funky look. Although Cedar Waxwings are still one of my faves. Thank you for sharing your photos. I do enjoy them.
