Gray County, KS Playa Bird Photography. 1 August 2015
Jeff Calhoun and I investigated several of the playas in the Haggard-Montezuma playa region of southeastern Gray County. I came away with some pretty good images of Avocets at a couple of the playas, including this cute Avocet chick that was strolling along one of the county roads between Haggard and Montezuma.
