american avocet, bolsa chica ecological reserve, huntington beach, ca
I never realized that American Avocets have partially webbed feet until I was editing this photo. I had assumed they had rail-like or egret-like feet, for no particular good reason. Shorter toes, though. If I had made a drawing of one from my head I never would have made them look like this..

Your photos are really beautiful, Catherine. I love the way you added the close up of the feet here.
