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.

Reflection of Patience
On a stranded log beside a small cascade on the Korana River, a heron stands still.
No rush. No doubt. Just observation.
The upper part of the river restless and textured, the lower calm like a mirror —
as if nature itself divided the frame into thought and reflection.
In that quiet waiting there is something healing.
A reminder that patience is not empty time,
but a space where things gently fall into place.
Karlovac, Korana River — my calm, my zen.
Odraz strpljenja
Na nasukanom deblu, tik uz slapić na Korani, čaplja miruje.
Ne žuri. Ne sumnja. Samo promatra.
Gornji dio rijeke nemiran je i izbrazdan, donji tih poput ogledala —
kao da priroda sama dijeli kadar na misao i njezin odraz.
U tom tihom čekanju ima nečeg ljekovitog.
Podsjetnik da strpljenje nije prazno vrijeme,
nego prostor u kojem se stvari polako slažu na svoje mjesto.
Karlovac, rijeka Korana — moj mir, moj zen.
Just missing some clouds. The extremes of Iceland. We had plenty of snow over night and this beautiful day.

Daddy to pair of Trumpeters I have followed for about 4yrs. Pond is still very much frozen. Very little fresh water but they are doing ok. I rotated and you can part of his real feet.
