Description: Texas Parks and Wildlife explains what this shorebird looks like, where it lives, how it eats, and why it is protected.
American Avocet (Recurvirostra americana) The American avocet is a long-legged shorebird. It is characterized by a long, thin bill that curves upward. In the female avocet, the bill curves up a little bit more. This shorebird has a distinctive black and white striped pattern on its back and sides. During the breeding season, the head and neck are a pinkish-tan and during the winter they are a grayish-white color. The avocet also has bluish-gray legs and feet; thus its colloquial name, "blue shanks."
