Why it matters
The American Avocet is easily recognized by its striking black-and-white plumage and its remarkably long, upturned bill, which it sweeps through shallow water to sift for aquatic invertebrates. These elegant waders are highly valued by birdwatchers for their distinct foraging behavior and the cinnamon-colored breeding plumage that transforms their heads and necks during the spring season.
