There is a Nature Reserve near Grand Forks, ND, called Kelly's Slough and it teams with many species of birds. They are shy so you have to approach carefully with a long lens. The early morning was overcast and slightly foggy making the conditions a challenge. Here is an American Avocet wading and dipping its uniquely curved beak however this time just came up with water or just maybe a small morsel?! Canon R7, RF 800mm f11 (1280mm 35mm equiv), iso6400, 1/1600s.
