Pranams to all

i am new to this site, looking forword to inspirational chats.
i have a question concerning the das [10] avatars of Vishnu.
someone once told me that lord Buddha was one of the avatars of Vishnu
instead of lord Balarama.
Is service offered to lord Buddha or the bodhisatvas a form of bhakti yoga?
my thanks to any who would take time to share their knowledge on this matter.

If you do a search on avatar within HDF you will find multiple discussions, as with a serch on Vishnu, etc etc.
