Avocet Mob
9/4/19, QUIVIRA NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, KS - American Avocets form a train, moving in a narrow file bobbing slightly; they swish their bills through the shallow, saline mud flat capturing invertebrates. It's an organized mob that soon attracts a crowd. Egrets -- Great and Snowy -- and Ibises descend in numbers. A Heron or two stand at the perimeter The late comers are not worm eaters. They mingle and flap and squawk as human crowds do. Activity attracts, even when it is another's business.
