Avocets have long legs and they sweep their long, thin, upcurved bills from side to side when feeding in the brackish or saline wetlands they prefer. The plumage is pied, sometimes also with some red. Members of this genus have webbed feet and readily swim. Their diet consists of aquatic insects and other small creatures. Recurvirostridae Family


“A” is for Avocet and Albatross: “A” Birds, Part 1

Today is the beginning of a new series for Lee’s Birdwatching Adventures. A good friend of mine, Rhonda Sawtelle, (Create a Positive Day), has been posting every day on her Facebook a different attribute of our Lord God. She has been going through them alphabetically. What if each day, we had a different attribute and a bird that starts with that same letter. My challenge is to try to at least get through the alphabet at least once. Maybe several rounds. Stay tuned!

*** Update – Monday we drove over to Melbourne, FL for my six-week follow-up from my back surgery. All is progressing very well. Still need a walker yet. Thanks for your continued prayers. On the way back home on Tuesday, we stopped by Brinson Park Pier in St. Cloud to see what kind of birds were there. Never visited that park before. What a treat. A Snail Kite eating a snail. I have some great video that I’ll share soon. Snail Kites are Birds of the Bible, as are all Kites. Also, during the ride, we spotted two Northern Crested Caracaras. Another treat.
