Beautiful shots of a cool bird. Was the bird skittish, are these cropped?

Good ones..

I think the Avocet is the most attractive wader there is..

[Crush]

Thanks all. Yes all shots are cropped. They arent too bad for being skitish.

Great shots! I've never seen this bird before. Is it only found in Western Canada or is it found in the States?

[Crush]

Looks like they spend most of their Canadian summer in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
