  Wonderful, Steve!
  
  Not only is the bird fabulous, but I love the water. Is that the shallow DOF considering how super long your lens was?
  
  lovely! as usual, and spring has sprung here.

  Thank you Ed, Harry and Ginger.
  
  Ginger-- yep the shallow DOF is from the long lens and being shot wide open.

  Nice shots. The Avocets are one of my favorite birds.
  I really like the way the background on your shots came out.
  Composition is very well done.
  Really nice photos.
