With its long legs, long neck, smallish head, and long upturned bill, the American Avocet presents a very elegant image.
There were a large number of avocets at Merritt Island NWR, but this one was off by itself for a stroll across the marsh lake. In breeding season his white head and neck will become a rusty color.

Look at all that shines
Baby's down on the world and she knows it
If your spirit's running
Why don't me make it rain like we used to
We run
We hide
We wait and we want
The good life
Aw sure
You're right
This ain't, the good life
Ah, Elegantly wasted
Ah, Elegantly wasted
Look at all the crimes
Baby's down on the world cause she owns it
Making up her life
Nothing more, nothing less makes it Voodoo
We run
We hide
We wait and we want
The good life
Aw sure
You're right
This ain't, the good life
Ah, Elegantly wasted
Ah, Elegantly wasted
We look at all that shines
Baby's down on the world and she knows it
If your spirit's fine
Why don't we make it rain like we used to
We run
We hide
We want
The good life
Aw sure
You're right
This ain't, the good life
Ah, Elegantly wasted
(you could be right, you could be certain, you could be right)
Ah, Elegantly wasted
Ah, Elegantly wasted
(you could be right, you could be certain, you could be right)
Ah, Elegantly wasted (feels like, feels like)
Elegantly wasted - you could be right
Elegantly wasted - you could be certain
Elegantly wasted - you could be right
Feels right, feels right
They called her elegant because
She loved lace curtains
collected doilies
and wore long posh skirts that almost dragged on the floor
She had high tea with ghosts using fine china
Read Virginia Woolf to her pampered cats
and forgot she was a modern woman.
Until it came to voting...
Then, she punched the men out
Tore her blouse,
Had blood strewn across her cheeks
and shouted
“Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!"
Maybe we should stop telling her to smile all the time.
