Media notes
Here's a blurry picture of the Avocet with the Pelicans in the background.
Observation details
I live as a caretaker above the Nisqually Reach Nature Center. I got home from work last night and saw over 100 American White Pelicans over the flats. I decided to launch my kayak to take some photos of the huge flock, and to my GREAT surprise I saw the American Avocet pictures below feeding over the flats. I was in Malheur for a 3 days birding excursion this past weekend and saw 3-4 Avocets there, and was shocked to see one over the flats here at Nisqually. It's hard to misidentify such a unique bird.
