L'avocette élégante vit dans une grande partie de l'Europe, son territoire se poursuit dans l'ouest et le centre de l'Asie jusqu'au sud-est de la Sibérie ainsi que jusqu'en Mandchourie, dans le nord-est de la Chine.

Elle consomme surtout des insectes aquatiques, des vers et des petits crustacés vivant en eau saumâtre. L'avocette recherche sa nourriture dans l'eau, à l'aide de son bec incurvé et très sensible. Sa méthode est originale : elle entrouvre le bec et écume l'eau en surface. Pour cela, elle manœuvre le bec dans dans un va-et-vient latéral tout en filtrant les aliments. L'avocette peut aussi basculer comme un canard pour chercher sa nourriture en eau plus profonde. Jusqu'à ce que son bec soit nettement retroussé, le jeune se contente de picorer.

L'espèce est menacée principalement par la destruction des habitats d'alimentation, de nidification et d'hivernage due à l'assèchement et à la transformation des lagunes saumâtres et des salines, les dérangements sur les lieux de nidification et le braconnage.

Les zones humides sont détériorées par l'usage des insecticides ; heureusement cette espèce est capable de s'adapter à des habitats ayant subi une baisse de qualité raisonnable. Comme 90% des migrateurs européens sont concentrés sur moins de 10 sites, une protection efficace de ces endroits est absolument essentielle.

Taille : 45 cm

Envergure : 77 à 80 cm.

Poids : 250 à 400 g

Longévité: 25 ans

The elegant avocet lives in a large part of Europe, its territory continues in the west and the center of Asia to the south-east of Siberia as well as to Manchuria, in the northeast from China.

It consumes mainly aquatic insects, worms and small crustaceans living in brackish water. The avocet searches for food in the water with its curved, very sensitive beak. His method is original: it opens the beak and scums the water surface. For this, it maneuvers the beak in a back and forth side while filtering food. The avocet may also tip over like a duck to forage in deeper water. Until his bill is clearly rolled up, the young is content to peck.

The species is threatened mainly by the destruction of feeding, nesting and overwintering habitats due to the drying up and transformation of brackish lagoons and salt marshes, disturbance of nesting sites and poaching.

Wetlands are deteriorated by the use of insecticides; Fortunately this species is able to adapt to habitats that have suffered a reasonable drop in quality. As 90% of European migrants are concentrated in less than 10 sites, effective protection of these places is absolutely essential.

Size: 45 cm

Wingspan: 77 to 80 cm.

The Quabbin Reservoir was created in the 1930s to supply

Boston with water, as other reservoirs were reaching the limits of their supply. The project involved relocating the residents of four towns and the closure of roads, then clearing a vast tract of forest to make way for over 400 billion gallons of water. It was completed in 1939, and continued to fill with water for the next seven years.

The Quabbin, which provides water to Boston, contains remarkably pure water. It is the only reservoir of its size that doesn't require further filtration before entering into the water supply. The Quabbin owes its purity to the forest hydrology of the surrounding watershed which efficiently holds back sediment and undesirable elements from reaching the reservoir.

Management at the Quabbin focuses on keeping the reservoir as pure as possible. Currently, the Quabbin supplies water for Boston, and is the largest reservoir of surface water in the world. The forest covering the Quabbin watershed is managed with the aim of preventing water erosion which would wash silt into the reservoir. Deer also pose a threat to the purity of the Quabbin, both because of defoliation caused by over-browsing, and the potential that the water could be contaminated by their fecal matter. While the watershed around the Quabbin remains an "accidental wilderness" and a haven for wildlife, management is always conducted with an eye for protecting Boston's precious water supply. Even the logging and thinning activity that is permitted in some areas is carefully planned and monitored to avoid soil erosion. Water quality is frequently monitored.
