black-necked stilt

    Colourful legs

    Up on that massive pipe I mentioned before (the one I advised you can ignore to pretend you're out in nature, but obviously I don't always do as I say - and anyway, I do want to show what the area is actually like) was a line-up of birds with variously coloured legs. Here are the most colourful...

    I may stop here with the California trip report. I just took a wildlife photography course at Nottingham University last week and hopefully I'll be taking even better shots over the coming days and weeks now. We'll see. I'm told the weather has been pretty dismal back home, so I may continue...

    Black-necked Stilt

    Closely related to Avocets, I was struck how this individual used its bill to sweep through the mud using precisely the same feeding strategy as the American Avocet.

    Black-necked stilts, back for spring breeding

    Our stilts typically arrive in early March to the wetlands, when the waters are more shallow, so they can breed and build their low ground-based nests on the mudflats. This was the first one I've spotted at the local wetlands this year.

    An elegant long-legged parent walking along the shore with her two chicks in tow. Stilt chicks are among the cutest you'll see - like little painted cottonballs with legs.

    Laughing

    Even the Black-necked Stilts were laughing at the Grackles. No wonder that Grackle was scowling ;). Also - no wonder both birds are "mexicanus", and no wonder I'd seen both in California before. Texas and California were both part of Mexico until the mid-19th century.

    Spring migration season makes for some great birding in South Florida. I spotted this Black-Necked Stilt in the canal along the highway.

    This photo was taken at a pond on the north end of Big Talbot Island State Park, known locally as "Spoonbill Pond". There were at least 20 of these birds wading the pond, most, like the one shown, were juveniles or in transition.
