American Avocet

I was laying on my stomach, photographing Greater Yellowlegs, when this larger shorebird came striding through my viewfinder. He filled up the entire viewfinder, but I was able to capture this crouched pose which preserved the entire bird and reflection. Maybe a bit tight in the frame, but I'll take it - especially with the water drop bouncing off the surface! The peachy water results from reflected hillsides behind the subject.
