p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Stilts and Avocets of 'Zona



Got a chance to shoot some shorebirds at the Riparian Preserve Water Ranch in Gilbert, AZ. In Minnesota, I generally don't get much of a chance to get close enough for nice pictures of avocets and stilts, so I was really happy I got this opportunity.

Feedback welcome.

Excellent shots! I particularly like the avocet in #3 and #5. The color of the bird against the green background works very nicely along with the crosslegged stance in #3 and the pose in #5 is spectacular.

Tam, thanks for commenting. I have been trying to get those reflection shots for some time. It seems as if it is always windy in Minnesota so the calm water there provided the perfect opportunity.
