As they always do with patience at Bunche, the birds approached closely as they foraged or made flybys from other areas of the Preserve.

The targets of Whimbrel and avocet were missed while the overall experience was extremely rewarding. The flock of the spoonbills was like a procession as it zigzagged before me, and will not be forgotten.
