Here's another one from yesterday's Rush Creek excursion. Bob H alerted me that something strange was going on. The Avocets were busy digging in the mud just under the water under the watchful eyes of some beady-eyed Gulls. When one of the Avocets scooped up a delectable morsel and flew off, a Gull would follow in hot pursuit. If the Avocet dropped the goodie, the Gull would swoop down and pick it up. It was almost as though the Avocets were the unwilling slaves of the Gulls! Size does matter and Might is Right!
Not easy to photograph, though! Nobody stopped to pose! The attached picture is the best of dozes I shot.
