What IS going On Here?

At first, this snowy egret appeared somewhat perplexed to find himself in among a group of American Avocets at the marsh this morning. And the avocets did not seem to know what to make of the egret either.

Bet then, a minute later, the avocets moved over a bit and something caught their attention because suddenly everyone was looking in the same direction.

“I’m sure I saw …”
“Where, where?!”
Avocets are such lovely birds. The British Avocet is the logo for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, here in the UK.

  Wow what a great logo! I love the avocets, just wish we saw them more often, they rarely visit anymore.

  I really like the avocets, such elegant little birds. Sadly, they have become fairly uncommon in our area.
