We did not see any avocets at Frank Lake until our second day and then they seemed to be everywhere.

People seemed to like the last avocet flight shot so here is another one from a right to left banking sequence with some of the marsh reeds and prairie grass behind the bird.

Here is an image with a bit of a background closer to the water. Taken just a bit down the road from Callahan's Pond near Frank Lake.

An American avocet moves swiftly across an open area in search of cover. Got this image in a small pothole near Callahan's Pond just up the road from Frank Lake.
