2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

American Avocets, Venice, Louisiana, USA
American Avocet Flyby

Species: American Avocets | Location: Venice, Louisiana, USA

I saw these American Avocets flying over the marsh. I ran out on top of what I thought was solid ground to photograph them. Yep, I stated sinking and thought I would lose everything. I got the shot anyway.

About The Photographer

I have been photographing nature for a long time. I thoroughly enjoy it. There is nothing like that special moment when you see an image that inspires you by your own hand or another photographer.
