A Ten Legged Black Necked Stilt !

Louisiana

Not really, if you look at the insert picture in the upper left, you'll see the baby chicks.
In a defensive mode, the parent will huddle down and the chicks will hide beneath the adult for protection.

Great catch. They didn't hide from me yesterday, only ran.

Awesome Chris. I've only seen the young hunker down in the water to hide, while the parents raise all kinds of heck with the photographer.
