American Avocets (Recurvirostra americana); Salt Lake City, Utah

Three’s a crowd…I know nothing of the relationship of this dyad, but there’s no mistaking the synergy in their actions. At times their movement was completely synchronous. It was fun for me to spend some time with these two, one early morning last October, at close range from my blind at the water’s edge. I made many portraits of these two birds, individually and together. The pair together is a little more challenging to pull off, but when the spacing is right, some of that synergy comes through in the portrait.
