I stopped by to see the Avocet this morning as well. My first sighting of one of these.

Here are a few merlin shots taken earlier in the fall
Take care all and good birding:)

Awesome work, Avocet flight shot is stellar.

Great shots - the Merlins remind of a dearly departed little buddy.

Nice flight shots. That's a really tough bird to shot in contrasty light.

Nice pics. I've never seen an avocet before. Its sure a neat looking bird, especially in flight. Like the pics of the merlins too.
