American Avocet (winter). While most common during the spring, summer, and early fall, a few avocets may spend most of the winter in the Upper Klamath and Tule Lake Basins.  In the fall,  avocets molt into the gray winter plumage seen here. Dave Menke. Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge, Siskiyou Co., Ca. (photo blind  1)
