Cold, but not dreary. As I walked out on the boardwalk, a flock of five white birds circled, flew by twice, and landed out to left of viewing platform. Five beautiful avocets; pretty sure they were all male, judging by the bill upturn. Then one lonely greater yellow legs. No willets or dunlin, or gulls. The sandhills have built up their nest to compensate for rising water. Avocets still present at 4:00 p.m. on the 26th.
