After a run of 5 straight weeks without a whole day away from work (around our annual maintenance shutdown), I was very happy to take a long weekend off and "get the heck out of Dodge..." I headed to Oak Hammock Marsh (near Stonewall, Manitoba) with a couple friends for a weekend of birding and photography. We spent the second morning shooting on some of the mudflats from "quick blinds" (basically we just found an area on the edge for a low set-up and hid ourselves under camo netting blankets). These two Avocets were there sleeping before sunrise, but once they awoke they got into a bit of a squabble...
