American Avocet and Friends

I was on my way to Hartlen Point Beach when I stopped for a look-see at Rainbow Haven salt marsh but the tide was high so nary a bird in sight on the water. All the birds were hunkered down in the grass awaiting the tide to recede.

I continued to Hartlen Point Beach but there were scant opportunities to be found there so I returned to Rainbow Haven salt marsh and low and behold the two American Avocets were floating and paddling just ripe for photographs. A visit by a Merlin scattered all the birds resting amongst the nearby grasses on the islets so I left satisfied with my photographs.
