Male and Female American Avocet birds, or Recurvirostra americana, standing in along the shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico Unique photo as both birds are looking in the same direction, the fact that you have both a male and a female standing side by side to compare colors and size variations and the fact that both birds are standing on one leg, and it happens to be the opposite leg for each bird so it crates a balanced look Digital image was shot from a boat with a very long telephoto lens to allow the birds to remain in their natural habitat
