Avocet Nap Time

There was a feeding frenzy with a couple hundred American Avocets at Merritt Island NWR. This group of avocets must have had plenty to eat, because looking like one-legged hunting decoys, they closed their eyes to rest/nap after dinner.

 

These avocets are still sporting a winter plumage. After the next molt, their head and neck will show a cinnamon color, and their legs will become a bluish color.
