American Avocets have a bit of a squabble

As I have said, I don’t really take pictures of “little” birds. However, I have to admit these ones are pretty darned cool. There were about a half dozen of them hanging out in a pond on Sunday and I felt compelled to take pictures of them. I don’t want the problem was but these two clearly did not want to play nice with each other. One would get close, the other would chase it away. I had a hard time keeping up with the action but did manage this shot of the two of them going at it.
