Avocets and Shovelers
A bit further out, beyond the Teals, were large, dense rafts of Avocets standing in the shallows and behind them again somewhat looser flocks of Northern Shovelers.- Doc Duck

The hundreds and thousands
A quick view of that remnant of tidal marsh at Bayfront Park, Millbrae. Here it's partially hidden under a rising tide. Most visible of the "hundreds and thousands" are American Avocets standing in the shallows and (mostly, I think) Willets waiting out the tide along the shore. There were...- Doc Duck

A wetlands remnant
An informative sign told that the whole 2-mile stretch I'd just walked plus the next several miles of airport and industrial area had once been a vast tidal marsh, now mostly drained and "developed". But one patch does remain right where the trail is interrupted at the south end of the airport...- Doc Duck

American Avocet
This attractive species has been increasing and expanding its range in San Francisco Bay. These are in non-breeding plumage showing a gray wash on their head and neck. Note the sharply upturned bill tips. I believe the two birds on the bottom right are females, but the one above is a male with a...- jmorlan

American Avocet
Now in breeding plumage showing rich cinnamon color to the head and neck. They usually forage by scything, sweeping their upcurved bill from side to side in the shallow water. However as seen here, they also find food on the bottom by dipping their whole head under the water. Females have the...- jmorlan

Avocets Flying
These birds were flushed by some kid. Have every noticed if a boy see a bird he will always pick up a rock or stick and throw it at them. Must be an instinct carried over from the days when we had to hunt for dinner and lived in a cave. Of course I never did anything like that.- blue185jay

Avocets Anyone?
We had quite a fallout of birds on my favorite lake yesterday. There were Avocets, Willets, Spotted Sandpipers and Semipalmated Plovers in one big flock. There were an estimated 250 Willets and 50 Avocets, with only a few of the others. Never saw so many in my life.- blue185jay

So I didn't get any posting done, but I did get caught up on browsing, several days worth of photo editing, and started on my quilting homework. Today we have...- Doc Duck
