American Avocet winter plumage

[cllslp at msn dot com]

I was out at the Bear River Bird Refuge yesterday evening and noticed
there were quite a few American Avocets in winter plumage (light gray back
and head, as opposed to the light rusty color).

My question is "Is this normal for this time of year?"

Thanks,
Stephen Peterson
