Make that 7:15 p.m. for the Avocet. (Yes, even the “Kiss of Death” (KOD) saw it this time.) I wonder if any one has seen it actually feeding and not just hiding behind ducks and sitting pinned against the phrags since last Saturday?
We also chased the belted Kingfisher seen last evening back and forth between the Discovery Trail entrance and the rails by the first pavilion on the north side for a while, but even when we flanked it and came at it from both sides, it wasn’t going to sit for a photo, and flew off to the north.
