This photograph of an American Avocet was taken just outside of Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Females are similar in appearance to males but with a shorter and more upwardly-curved bill, male bills are longer and straighter. They are the only avocet with distinct breeding and non-breeding plumages.

During the breeding season, the feathers turn a rusty orange color, but in the winter, they are grayish white.

I believe this is a male but please correct me if I am wrong.

the start to what turned out to be a cool day delivering logs, meeting people, dogs and cats, and cattle,

my van to the right, and Roger's — our neighbour's — dying oak, to the left, through the dirty front window of my caravan

Morning is a favorite time to walk and shoot.

....flirting 💕

This shot was taken in bed looking out over a sunrise in Bristol last year. I wanted to keep that bleary eyed morning feel, hence the subdued and gritty processing.
