American Avocet
Just thought I’d give you folks something a bit different for a change. Time to take a breather from all the waterfalls lately. Nothing too exciting though. No raging waterfall here or anything like that. I’ll be off this weekend to find some more “new” waterfalls. Should be fun, and hopefully I’ll find something.
This is a really good close-up shot of a completely wild American Avocet bird. Taken somewhere on a beach in northern California. It is certainly not a captive bird inside the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Umm, well I guess I cannot tell a lie. It really is inside the Aquarium. It is not a wild bird. I cheated on this shot, I know it.
But seriously, it is rather interesting that you can get so close to these birds in the Aquarium. I was within a couple feet of this one, as I took this shot. Didn’t even need a zoom lens. They pay no attention to people (I’m sure they are very used to the hordes of people that see them every day). This one was just trying to get in some nap time.
