American Avocet Mating # 2, The Cloacal Kiss - Click image to view larger!

Ahh love is grande!! Great capture of these two lovely birds doing just what nature intended. Beautiful work Tim.

Thanks Gail! In birdshooting it's at least 40% luck and my luck this morning is that they mate at approximate the same place as the day before. Unfortunately, the lighting is also worse than the day before but at least I got clear shot with no other birds in the wave and good background. The shot is very much as is with very little  cleaning work along with some sharpening, level in PS.

Wonderfully captured!

Thanks Anabela!
