American Avocet
Southern California
Taken a few weeks back as this view really shows the nice markings on this beautiful
bird this plumage is its non breeding in a few months time the head will turn orange
as we head into spring.

I like the banking position you captured here. Shows the details really well and sweet BG as well. Great image James!

Killer dorsal view James, and overall, very well exposed. Well captured.

Wonderful banking pose and wing spread. The birds pin sharp, lovely image James TFS.

A real beauty James. That bank angle allowed full depth bird in focus. Plus you got the nice eye catch and terrific sharpness. I wonder if a bit of NR, especially in the ULC might reduce the slight grainy appearance.

Nice dorsal view, good lighting, and catchlight. I am not certain about the crop, but I think it needs some more room?
