Juvenile American Avocets

They are teenagers. Immature and playful. 
They grew up a little bit bigger since last time I saw them but not much.
*** Today I got to Bear river one hour after sunrise.
I didn't expect much from this trip but to my surprise
there were many shorebirds.
The second week of August is the peak of the shorebird migration at Bear river
with average population around 70,000.

I saw avocets, Black stilts, Great Blue herons, 
one Snowy egret and many ducks.
My favorite songbirds mostly were silent, they stopped singing.
