Any idea where in AZ? We don'tg exactly have an overabundance of shoreline.

This was taken at a place called the riparian preserve at Gilbert water ranch. It's a 110 acre nature preserve designed as a wetland for bird life.

Huh. I had no idea such a place existed. I'll have to get down there, one of these days. Thanks!

There are a few constructed wetlands close to phoenix. That one is the most popular however

Hmm. I guess I'll need to do some googling. Thanks for the tip.

awwws I love these guys last time I went to the salt marsh they were with the black necked stilts who had chicks, and every time a northern harrier would fly by the stilts and Avocets would chase them off, then the stilts would chase the Avocets back to the ground.

Yeah I have seen this behavior as well. Pretty interesting birds
