Juvenile Willet on the shore of a lakeJuvenile Willet on the shore of a lake

It won’t be long before I start seeing juvenile Willets that are about the size of the one pictured here. This one still has a bit of down left on the back of its upper neck and its bill is slightly shorter than an adult’s. As I watched this juvenile Willet at Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge I saw it catch 2 dragonfly nymphs and eat them.

Life is good.
