Nice behavior shot. Please take a moment to read the posting guidelines. You can post only one image every 24 hours. ;)
 
Hi Larry Welcome to BPN !! First let me say you have captured one of my favorite species. From what I see you were working with some pretty harsh light and perhaps this was taken closer to mid day when the sun is higher. The reason I say this is that the whites on the back close to the neck look hot on my monitor but I very much like your timing in this image and to have the avocet with a fish in it's beak is a real bonus. One other obeservation would be if it is possible to get down on a lower level so you are even with the eye it would even further strengthen this image. Thanks for posting Larry and will look forward to future posts.
 
Larry, let me add my welcome to BPN! Judylynn's comments were great suggestions. Look forward to seeing more of your posts.
