Stilts Are Back
A few days ago we once again had a visit in our area from this lovely pair of Black-necked Stilts. I really enjoy seeing these long legged beauties traverse the shallow water of the marsh in search of tiny fish and other tasty marine crustaceans.

Great captures. Particularly like the last one – stepping out…

Very beautiful bird, my favorite is 4 because of his leg position and the 2nde because of the purple reflexion on his beak (even if head is not perfectly sharp, you offer always amazing pictures and perfect ones so I notice this;-) but I am not able to do a quarter of your great job :-D)
Enjoy your day Phil

Perhaps one of natures more humorous creatures but fascinating at the same time.
Thanks for checking these out Sylvia!

I’ll join the majority and like stepping shot. Those legs just look like they were attached to the wrong bird.

Those are wonderful, Phil. Love these birds – even when they have yelled at me and flown at my head to protect a nest I’d never have known about if they hadn’t!!!
