Stephanie very kindly wrote to share this photo of American Avocets (Recurvirostra americana) from Dillon Beach. She observed three individuals at Sand Point on 5 March 2019. We don't often get to see avocets on the outer coasts of Sonoma and Marin counties, so this is a nice sighting.
Note that females tend to have shorter and more strongly recurved (turned upward) bills.
I think I last posted about avocets almost six years ago — check out the post called "Avocets in July" on 8 July 2013.
Many thanks to Stephanie for sharing her photo!
