  • With its elegant profile and striking coloration, the American Avocet (Recurvirostra americana) is unique among North American birds. In summer it can be found in temporary and unpredictable wetlands across western North America where it swings its long upturned bill through the shallow water to catch small invertebrates. <br />
<br />
The Pawnee National Grasslands of northeastern Colorado provide such a temporary wetland habitat, especially during late spring.

  • Cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis) take flight from their springtime home on Mad Island Marsh Preserve. The marsh, part of the Matagorda Bay estuarine habitat, on the Texas Gulf Coast, lies at the terminus of the Central Flyway, one of four principal North American migratory bird routes. Nearly 250 species of birds--including migrating and resident songbirds, shorebirds, colonial nesting birds, and wading birds--use the area for feeding, resting and roosting. Yet, the preserve's upland prairies represent a part of the remaining 2 percent of the original tallgrass coastal prairies once found across Texas.
