The American Avocet is a sleek shorebird with elegant legs and a crazy-cool upturned bill that it sweeps side to side like it's searching for treasure in the shallows. Its black-and-white wings flash in flight, while its rusty-orange head during breeding season gives it major fashion points. Graceful, stylish, and slightly sassy, it's basically the ballerina of the wetlands with a built-in soup spoon.
