Black-necked Stilt

I was quite surprised to see this shore bird at Fern Ridge Wildlife Area. According to the map at www.allaboutbirds.org, Black-necked Stilts don't even appear in Oregon! It is certainly the first one I have seen! Anyway, it is also certainly evident why the bird is called a 'Stilt'.

You can check out the map at All About Birds http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Black-necked_Stilt/lifehistory).

Always exciting to get a shot of a bird that's not seen regularly.

maybe it was doing a bit of tourism.V.

You have quite a wonderful shot of him, Vern! We get them lots in our area, though I haven't seen any in awhile. I think I've just been too busy to go where they are. ;) How fun that you and this one crossed paths.
