American Avocets and Franklin's Gulls at the Great Salt Lake


 

I took these photographs at the end of September at the Great Salt Lake. I was driving along the lake's shore when I spotted the group of Avocets surrounded by several Franklin's Gulls.  I walked  down to the lake between rocks and sage bushes hoping to get to birds close but Franklin's gulls immediately took off and Avocets stayed.





The skittish Gulls are taking off.





The dancers with long legs and wide spread wings. They look a little bit awkward.





It's nice to have a nap in the cool morning but not everyone is napping, some are still looking for food.  

Generally, life is good!
