Stilts in the Shallows

These are a black necked stilt (Himantopus mexicanus) with pink legs, and an American avocet with blue legs (Recurvirostra americana). I took this photo a couple of years ago at the Sabine Wildlife Refuge in Louisiana.

"The American Avocet takes elegance to a new level. This long-legged wader glides through shallow waters swishing its slender, upturned bill from side to side to catch aquatic invertebrates. It dons a sophisticated look for summer with a black-and-white body and a rusty head and neck. During the winter the head and neck turn a grayish white, but the bird loses none of its elegance as it forages along coastal waters or rests while standing on one leg." - allaboutbirds.org

Last one in my American Avocet series (East Pond Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge). The Avocet is now feeding in the middle of the pond, so we can use a low shot for an excellent background.

A series of an American Avocet feeding at the East Pond of Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. The relatively soft focus is due to heat distortion b/c I'm shooting from just above ground level on a baking mudflat.
