Avocets and Bittern

Two more pictures of the American Avocets that are at the Wastewater.

I birded Lane's Landing from 7:10 pm till 8:10 pm and had an American Bittern calling all the time I was there.

After Lane's I went back to the Wastewater to check on the avocets and they were still there at 8:40 pm. I counted 36.

Thanks, Charlie.  I hope that bittern sticks around for our Big Day Count.  We missed you on the Upper Mac Field Trip.  We didn't find anything as exotic as an avocet, but did record 45 bird species on a beautiful spring walk.  - Ric
