American Avocet Recurvirostra americana
Salton Sea 4/02 Two years ago from Feb. to May, I took many trips to the Salton Sea to get some shots of Avocets in the marsh area near Obsidian Butte. While shooting from the car, this handsome fellow slowly walked closeby and paused to let me get several frame filling images. I nearly died seeing this through the viewfinder. I went last year to discover the marsh had partially dried and the water line was far away from the road and not as many birds. I hope it is due to seasonal chnges in water supply and not a one time deal. I am planning a trip soon to check the condition of the marsh and look for more Avocets close to the road. Cropped ~5%.
