The American Avocets at Bombay Hook NWR were beautiful along with hundreds of Dunlins and Dowitchers.
The Dunlins have black circles on their bellies.

The Avocets have black and white wings and their bills are slightly upturned. The breeding adult has an orange head and neck.

I love the Glossy Ibis and the Avocets. What a great place for birds.
BTW our grand baby is a little boy.
What a productive trip you had - so many lovely birds and good weather too, by the look of it :-)
I have not seen such a number of birds at one time. You must be very excited.
Oh what fun! to be birding with friends and then to see so many birds.
Blessings,Ruth

Nice shots! My favorite was the Glossy Ibis. I've not seen that bird yet.
How nice to see all those different birds side by side, in harmony.
Please have a nice Wednesday.

So many birds that I am not familiar with. They are so pretty, and I wish I could see them in my area.

You get to see the most beautiful and special birds Eileen. Wonderful.
These are great photos of all those short birds Eileen. I would have had a blast taking photos of them. You did a wonderful job of capturing them.
That is quite a menagerie of wild birds, Eileen. You must have been excited to find such a large group. Your photos are awesome, my friend!
Interesting water birds.
