Killdeer at the water's edge.
This was a better angle of the bird...not so crazy about the grass poking up in the foreground. I'm afraid my Photoshop skills don't extend to removing unwanted elements yet...
I really like American Avocets - such great plumage and they really work hard for their food. Constantly swinging that curved bill back and forth through the water. I have to appreciate all that effort.
This one still has mud dripping off his bill.
I liked the reflection of the bird in this shot.
I nearly always see this Great Blue Heron in the same spot. If he's not there when I first walk by, he'll inevitably show up sometime before I leave. A couple of times he's buzzed right over my head and barely missed me with his wings. It's amazing that a bird so large can get into the air.

Three lovely birds and very good shots with some reflections of them
Hello, pretty variety of birds and photos. I love the cute killdeer and the Avocet. Great capture of the Heron! Enjoy your day!
Great photos and beautiful birds. I especially like the Avocet.
Love Killdeers and Great Blue Herons. We see them here a lot. The Avocet is a new bird for me. Very interesting!
I do like the American Avocet. Something looks very peaceful about the bird. Great pictures.
wonderful shots of the shorebirds -- especially the avocet with its reflection! That's a species I really miss having the chance to photograph after moving back east
Beautiful shots! What a great place to stop on the way home from work!
What a wonderful place for birds. Your photos are really great. You captured their colors quite well.
