The Avocet was resting in the water on one leg and lifted its head off its back for a moment when I showed about 15 minutes past noon.
Follow directions to Beaver Island State Park (BISP) from the I-190 once you are on Grand Island. Turn towards the east (left) on Ferry Rd. Pass East River Road coming from the left and continue to the river where East River Road continues to the right and go right until Cox Rd. Park on the roadside or continue to BISP then walk back. The Avocet was resting about 40 yards to the right (upriver) from Cox Rd. and within 5-10 yards of shore. Shore ice extends perhaps 2 or 3 yards out from the shoreline.
