Mama Avocet is Protecting Her Babies

At first, I didn’t understand why sometimes avocet was spreading her wings wide and showing how big and powerful she was.
It took a while to realize that the bird was protecting her babies who were probably somewhere close.

As soon as I realized what is going on I walked very carefully away from this place. Hopefully, I didn’t stress the bird too much.
