We drove to Power, Montana a couple days ago, to see some old vehicles that will be auctioned off in June. Took a wrong turn and roamed around the country side for quite a while, taking pictures. We found this one legged bird on an alkali flat. The actual photo is very clear and sharp, you can see the twinkle in this bird's eye...
I don't know what kind of bird this is, but he was so cute, standing there on one leg, counterbalanced by his long beak. I've since learned this bird is an Avocet!

The bird is an Avocet, our local woodcarvers love to carve them in this very pose. :) Beautiful birds, aren't they!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Now I don't have to go look him up in the bird book. ha. I'd never seen one of these before. They are beautiful. I love their knobby knees.
