I was trying to get both a Black-necked Stilt and an Avocet in the same frame. I did, but none that were any good.
The Avocet is another of those ‘elegant and delicate’ wading birds.

It is a little shocking to see that long skinny bill with an upward curve–it’s like someone stretched out the entire bird.
There’s something ‘other worldly’ about them. I think the male has the more curved beak. But really who can keep track with all the nuances of the different critters. 😂😂
There are some birders that can do that, but I definitely cannot keep track of all of the subtle differences between the different shore birds, for example. 🙂
The shore birds baffle me 😂. At this time I tend to point and mumble something about ‘peeps’.
