American Avocet in Hubbard County
2011-04-09

Five or fewer records in Hubbard County for the Spring season

I saw these Avocets on the northwest corner of Potato Lake just where the river from Eagle Lake enters Potato. They sat on the ice for a while until a Bald Eagle swooped down and tried to take one. I have pictures of the Eagle giving chase to one of the Avocets as well if anyone wants to see it.
