American Avocet (Recurvirostra americana)A very cooperative bird photographed at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens, NY this past Saturday. A regular post with more images to follow later. (As always, you can click the images to see them enlarged.)

Great photos of the avocet and the other little shorebirds as well. I expect the migratory shorebirds to be arriving down here (Australia) over the next few weeks and months. A very exciting time of year!
Chris, beautiful shots. I think this is my new most favorite bird. I feel lucky that we saw it Sat. It says it is rare in the northeast.
Great captures of the American Avocet Chris! My favorite is the second shot with the bird pulling its beak out of the water. Very nice!
BTW, your link on BPW links to your 8/10 post of the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher (yet another great post).
Outstanding shots of the Avocets, Chris!
