I just received this notice of an American Avocet at Piney Run Lake seen yesterday. Barry Hoskins sent a photo to Audubon's Action Alert Coordinator.

Not sure if this has already been posted. The photo (not included here) showed a nice adult avocet, which was clearly close to the observer!

Good luck.

This is cell phone picture, but wanted to share this image of an American Avocet observed on Piney Run Lake in central MD on 7/09/09.  First we have seen this at our local shallow lake.
