Word was out that American Avocets were moving north along the Milwaukee Lakefront. They had made very brief stops, just for moments at Grant Park, South Shore Yacht Club, Pebble Beach and finally taking a rest and doing some feeding at Bradford Beach. It was very cold, 37 degree, windy and cloudy too. I heard 37 birds were present and they all hung out in one area. The gulls were constantly in their faces so for the most part they were a tight group. Images were taken on April 24, 2024.
Some of the group of the American Avocets…

Super photos of a beautiful Advocate.
Beautiful photos!
Absolutely love these pictures!
Thank you!
As always phenomenal shots. I was at south shore yesterday and didn’t see them. Today I was all the way out by Racine beach when I heard so I didn’t get a chance to go see them. Wonder if they would be there tomorrow. Well I did see a few Terns though which was nice. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous shots.
Outstanding Photos Jeremy! Surprised they stayed that long in such an active area.
Outstanding Photos Jim! My bad, Jeremy post on these guys was right next to yours. You both take Excellent photos!
Seeing such awe-inspiring photos brings joy to my heart. They are all stunning, but I especially enjoyed the photo, 4th up from the bottom, of the tight-knit group pretty much all facing the same direction. Thanks for sharing!
Love these birds! Beautiful photos. Thank you for sharing.
Wow! I could happily gaze at these beautiul birds for hours…. gorgeous shots.
A group of avocets is called a stand; you can see why. Once again you caught their beauty while they are standing there.
What an exquisitely beautiful bird! Thank you for capturing them in these beautiful photographs. They are amazing, and so are you.
So nice , thank for the pics!
Quite possibly one of my favorite birds. Thank you.
Beautiful! Today I’ve been tracking and photographing one lone American avocet on Bradford Beach. It seems to be purposefully staying close to the herring and ring billed gulls.
