Avocet

This is the American Avocet - in breeding plumage. The non-breeding stage will find the rusty colored head and neck becoming a gray color. They eat aquatic vegetation and invertebrates it finds while using its needle-like bill as a probe, often by walking swiftly and running through fairly deep water, swinging its bill from side-to-side.
