Avocet in the NJ Medowlands Dekorte Park

I was in the meadowlands the other morning trying out my new lens..
As I was leaving, several people were coming in: very excited about the Avocet. I was asked if I got any pictures of it. I had no idea that there was a special bird there, and I had never heard of an Avocet; but I thought I would share the link with the birdwatchers here:

Here is the shot I got:

LOL ... that's the largest avocet I've ever seen Nice image, though!

BTW, if you enjoy bird photography, head south to the EB Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Oceanville (Atlantic County). It's a beautiful place to just drive around, but also a great bird photography spot.

Those avocets sure evolved rapidly since I last saw them!
