The black-necked stilt is a very widespread shorebird throughout a good portion of the Americas. I photographed this one in San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary in California while I was searching for bobcats. Always nice to have something to photograph when looking for an elusive something else to photograph. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 400, f/5.6 at 1/1000th of a second.

Ok that’s a cute bird!
Ha. Thanks Shardae. Every so often I can get you with the feathers.
Distinctive looking bird – I have never seen one in these parts.
