Nice weather in Erie County, Pennsylvania over the weekend, which means one thing: time to head out to Gull Point. And good thing, too, since there was a lovely (and rarely seen at Presque Isle) pair of American Avocet, e.g., as seen in the distance here from the old observation platform:


Two shots of Spotted Sandpiper. Been a good year for S.S. at Gull Point and elsewhere.


Distant (and poorly lit) Short-billed Dowitcher:


Not the best photography conditions (distant + backlit), but here’s more of the American Avocets, unless otherwise indicated:















Coming up soon, more Gull Point!
