You're right about the eye at take-off, Sue. I'd be wide-eyed too if I took off at the speed they do.]]></description>

It's a pretty reliable indicator of take-off, Bryce. Doesn't work every time but it very often does.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Ron!
Look at the eye in the "take-off" shot, and compare with the other shots. This is a great example of being "wide-eyed".
These shots also show the bill difference in male and female, with the female having a more pronounced bend.
All these details brings me closer to the birds' world, and I love that.
Thank You! again,
Sue]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Great post Ron! I love your inclusion and discussion of behavior. I've never noticed this behavior, but I'll certainly begin watching for it!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[How wonderful! I have been lusting after an avocet to shoot, but could not find one. This is certainly the next best thing. My photos would pale by comparison to yours anyway. Nice to know about the behavior so that when I do encounter one, I will be warned of take off.
Thanks so much!]]></description>

Elephant's Child, I've seen them a few times but not often and I don't yet have any images of them. They're very large and when one flushes unexpectedly right in front of you it gets your attention, believe me!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[What a fascinating bird, and such a bonus to photography when a behaviour is better understood. I imagine that without this piece of knowledge you would miss take-offs a great deal more often than not.
Off topic here. A friend sent me a youtube video of a Sage Grouse. Do you ever see them?]]></description>
