This is a collection of other shorebirds other than herons or egrets. This also includes certain sandpipers that prefer prairies and meadows to the coastal areas plus kingfishers who really are not considered shorebirds but they are exclusively found near water.

Stephen > Out in Aransas Bay, I found several obliging oystercatchers.  Near Rockport, Texas, January 2009
Stephen > As I was riding in a chartered boat around the Aransas Bay area, I noticed to American Oystercatchers fly in tandem right past the boat and land on a small piece of land covered in shells.  The boat operator quickly turned the boat and we headed straight for the small piece of land.  Cautiously we approached and to my surprise, the oystercatchers allowed us to get rather close.  Rockport, Texas, January 2009

Stephen > In a place called Mission Flats, I found these American Avocets elegantly dipping their beaks in the water looking for small prey.  The day was overcast and it had just rained thus the rather drab looking color.  Bayside, Texas, January 2009
Stephen > Sitting down in a patch of marsh grasses I waited as this American avocet came closer and closer to me as it hunted in the shallows of this mudflat.  Bayside, Texas, January 2009
Stephen > This Roseate Spoonbill was perched on a post at the Laguna Madre Nature Trail, South Padre Island, Texas, June 2007.
