avocet landing

Yesterday afternoon I found a flock of American Avocets feeding in an impoundment at Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge near Lewes.  They feed on mud flats and shallow water by swinging their long bills back and forth in the muck.  Delaware is pretty much the northern end of their range and I hope to have another shot at them as they are quite unique and beautiful birds.
