The American AvocetRecurvirostra americanis has been called by some the most elegant bird in North America. Its graceful curves and movements are a delight to behold. They are commonly found in mudflats.
The first four photos were taken at the Lafitte Cove Nature Preserve. The last was taken at Bolivar Flats.
