Elegant Avocet

American Avocet
Elegant is the one word that comes to mind when I see an American Avocet. These graceful shorebirds are fairly common out here on the Great Plains wherever there are shallow lakes or flooded fields. The incredibly long, thin bill is useful for feeding in the shallow water or probing in the soft mud. American Avocet... a study in elegance and beauty. What a bird!
