After I missed several days walking the Ferrari Pond Trail, upon my return, I noticed that the Salt Pond, which was almost completely devoid of birds a week or so ago, is filled with Egrets, Stilts, and American Avocets. At least three American Avocets are back, slightly less colorful than earlier in the season after losing some of their breeding plumage color but back to foraging in the shallow waters of the Salt Pond. The Avocet caught something and this is the first time I’ve actually captured something it caught in its bill. I have no idea what it is but I’m sure it was a tasty breakfast morsel.
