American Avocet

American Avocet in Camas Prairie, near Fairfield, Idaho. "Blue Shanks"

is a colloquial name for American Avocets, a beautiful migratory bird

living mostly in marshes, beaches and ponds. I took this shot during

spring of last year. Camas Prairie is a wonderland for few days in spring

when the Camas flowers bloom all over. Snow melts to create a marsh

land in this prairie - inviting many shore birds. comments welcome..

Very good shot, good focus and dof, pleasing composition.

Wonderful to be in such a place during such a 'quick season'. Great lighting, DOF, detail....framing done very well, finishing off a composition so very pleasing to the eye. Great Portfolio....I'll be back!
