Summary
| Description |
NPS/Patrick Myers Even in a dry year, shorebirds persevere in small oases of life in and near Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve. American Avocets arrive in early April, often when the weather is still blustery or snowy. Their mating dances include side-by-side promenades through wetlands with their long, slender bills crossed. Fluffy, golden chicks arrive as the weather warms, and they soon follow their parents around, learning to catch aquatic insects in shallow water. The #YearOfTheBird celebration continues throughout 2018!
