Observation details
12 birds in breeding plumage. I first spotted them on the far southwest shore of the large lake. Later, they flew to the island in the middle of the lake. While there, I saw them get agitated and then spotted a bald eagle fly overhead and low to the lake. There was already a large flock of ducks in the air as a result of the eagle's flyby and the Avocets joined them. I did not see the Avocets land and thought they flew away, but others reported seeing the Avocets back along the lake's shoreline after I left. I will also post pictures.
