Andean Avocet

The Andean avocet (Recurvirostra andina) is a large wader in the avocet and
stilt bird family, Recurvirostridae. It is resident in the Andes, breeding
above 3500 m in northwestern Argentina, western Bolivia, northern Chile and
southern Peru. This avocet has a white head, neck, underparts and rump, and
dark brown back, wings and tail. It is similar in size to the American avocet,
at 43–48 cm (17–19 in) in length and 315–410 g (11.1–14.5 oz) in weight. The
thin, grey legs are not as long as with other avocet species, but the long
thin black bill is upturned at the end. The sexes are similar, and the
juvenile plumage is undescribed.
