Calling juvenile Black-necked Stilt
There has been a theme for my posts this week, shorebirds and birds from the shore and so far they have all been from Florida but today I am mixing it up and sharing a juvenile Black-necked Stilt image that I created last month here in Utah. Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management area is a great place to see Black-necked Stilts during the breeding season and to see their young later on.
Between calling American Avocets and Black-necked Stilts it can get a bit noisy at times but for me it is a good kind of noise. Much better than the ticking of a clock reminding me of deadlines it is more like the melody of the season.

Still wandering!
Nice feather detail and very sweet light.
Wonderful Mia!
What a charmer.
Aw, what a cutie-pie. And it’s a treat to see a young one. Nice work. =)
Beautiful birdie, looks like a plush toy 🙂 Nice photo!
What a cute face!
He actually looks like he is smiling. Maybe it has something to do with his eye, and the coloring around the upper part of his bill. I love it.
Love these guys.
Great photo, Mia!
