I have had to fly to England as my 92 year old mum has been rushed to hospital on Tuesday night & I won't be as active on here for a while. #birds
A trio of Avocets standing in the water, they are black and white waders with long thin decurved bills, which they swipe through the water in a sideways motion, back & forth to feed.

This image features a close-up profile of a Eurasian hoopoe, showcasing its distinctive sandy-orange head, sharp black-tipped crest, and long, slender, decurved bill. The bird's dark, circular eye is clearly visible against its pale, buff-colored plumage, while a softly blurred natural background emphasizes the crisp details of its feather textures and prominent crest.

In Ont, Whimbrels breed along the coastline of Hudson Bay. They spend their winters along the shorelines of the southern USA, Mexico, and Central America. This one has been on a week long layover on cricket grounds here providing spectacular views for both birders and cricket players! #birds #HamOnt

A nice Christmas gift I received yesterday was this Buff-bellied Hummingbird, which stopped by our Turk’s Hat plant. #Birds #Nature #CorpusChristieTX.
This Buff-bellied Hummingbird, with its decurved beak, was interested in the reddish blooms from our Turk’s Cap plant. The hummer was showing off all the colored feathers - its green, reddish-orange, and buff bellied underside.

Great when we see these wonderful Hoopoe but they do like being in the shade. Big ISO on all the images, pity. #birds
A brown bird, with a decurved long bill, which is open, as it throws a caterpillar piece in the air, before swallowing. It has its distinctive crest folded down, which looks like an anvil out the back of its head. The wings are amazingly black & white striped.
