American Avocet - Winter 2009 - Point-and-Shoot Nature Photography by Ethan Winning

If I find them on the shore, in the shore, around the shore, sitting on a stick in the waves, they're shorebirds. That's why the belted kingfisher is here.

I understand that this is unusual, but they seem to be perfectly comfortable sharing.

Ethan Winning > Killdeer - Martinez Recreation Shore

Now, pay attention. When the killdeer is near water, I consider it "waterfowl." When it's on a grassy field, it isn't. I suppose I should use the same criteria for gulls, but does anybody really care? Yes, I know that this one is near the water, but I need a "rep" for this gallery. More on grassy field later.

My one and only pelican ... so far

Ethan Winning > Cormorant Couple

The beginning of a beautiful courtship? I really didn't know where to put cormorants, but they're shorebirds to me.

Can't wait to see them in breeding plumage, but I guess I was lucky enough to get these which seem to be a rarity in inland bays of this area.
