On Sunday morning I led an informal birding trip at Baytown Nature Center. Our little convoy of cars had just entered the site when I had everyone stop to admire a dozen American Avocets that were stalking around in a wet area next to the road.
With their elegant build and plumage, Avocets are one of my favorite shorebirds.
I always enjoy watching as they feed by sweeping their upturned bill from side to side through the water.
