American Avocet

I was giving my new Maxwell Smart shoe cam a try LOL. Acually It took me about 5 minutes to creep up on these shore birds and was knees and elbows for about the last 15 yards.
1 and 2 American Avocet

Very Nice Randy. Might I suggest a skateboard. : )

Very Nice set! Love the Avocets in flight!

Well done again now stay home and stop taking photos If this Keeps up I am going to have to go shoot..(If and When work dies)

Great set especially the Avocet shots.

Great set, Randy. The flight shots do it for me.

Big Thanks All

These are outstanding, especially the in-flights.

Nice series. The in-flight shots are great!

Great shots

Great series! Love the low angle shots.

A beautiful series, you have the Nighthound crawl down well, you must have taken his online class...heh..heh.

Really a great series Randall. The first one is my pick and the male down low in the water is second, but all are very well done.

The Avocet is one of my all time favorite birds, especially in breeding color like yours here. They're only passers-through in this part of the country so they don't have the pretty rust color when or if I'm fortunate to see them.

"5 minutes to creep up on these shore birds and was knees and elbows for about the last 15 yards"

Guess that makes it a photography pilgrimage.
Well worth the effort! Thanks for sharing!
