Leaving So Soon?

A pair of black-necked stilts were feeding in the marsh pond this afternoon when one decided to suddenly take off and leave his friend behind.

I always enjoy seeing these impossible birds with their long, gangly, bubble gum pink legs, bobble heads, and high squeaky voices!

Incredible! It’s lovely to see those legs poised like that with the water falling off. Amazing motion.

  Hey thanks very much! These birds are not common for our area so it’s always a treat to see them.
