Pied Avocet Recurvirostra avosetta, Lake Wuliangsu, Inner Mongolia, China, September. (Craig Brelsford)A rather harried flock of Pied Avocet fly over the defunct wetland at Cape Nanhui, early November. The avocets were often interrupting their feeding and resting to make a circular flight before settling back down at more or less the same location. Though habitat continues to decline, Pied Avocet remains a common winter visitor and passage migrant in Shanghai. (Craig Brelsford)
