Could see the American Avocet vocalizing. Runner in background and other noises made by humans.

Observation details

Same bird as my earlier list. I walked from dam north on east side of lake. Saw the AMAV foraging in a shallow area opposite the 2 mile marker for Mine Creek Trail near wooden bridge . Lots of vegetation hard to see for more than a few seconds a time. Tall black and white shorebird with recurred bill. Previously reported. Seen at 16:52. Flushed by a photographer who walked across the wetland and flushed the birds. It flew to the big bridge mudflat at 17:10. Flew south out of sight at 17:18. Recorded the bird.
