Great shots Paul. Just starting to get a few avocets down our way. I love it in spring when they get those rusty heads and necks.

Wonderful shots.Those birds are like a bunch of fencers !

(I guess some time ago we already had a discussion about the rectilinear image distortion your lens is afflicted with, as evidenced on the bills of the birds )

Great shots. Nice to see so many in one shot.

The way they lined up #1 is awesome.

I do remember of course, thanks for the comments and even more thanks for your great sense of humor.

Thanks Dennis, Gary and Rebel.

Nice shots, Paul, and interesting bird. As they are I like the first best but with a clone brush I think the second would be just as good, maybe better.

Thanks for looking Tumb, I don't know how to use the clone brush and what would you suggest I do to the pic? Feel free to edit.

Paul, maybe something like this?

Hi Paul,nice shots,are these local birds or are they migrants?

I didn't think they were migratory here in S. California but I'm not sure.

Cute! They are great birds... they are here all year though..
