Angry American Avocet - a photo on Flickriver

Angry American Avocet

            This afternoon, I went out to the wildlife refuge in Alviso to check out the shore birds. As soon as I walked half way out on the boardwalk, I was greeted by an aggressive American Avocet. She kept circling around and aimed directly at me. I raised my camera and tried to take a few shots of it before retreating back to the boardwalk entrance. It could be that she was guarding one her nest somewhere out there. I later saw her chase a couple of seagulls away in the same manner. Jeez, what an angry bird. This is one of the shots I had taken before getting out of there.
