An amazing experience watching this pair feed their chicks recently.
Taken at a public site at a distance so as not to disturb the birds or alter their behaviour.
Photographed at Sunnyside Wildlife Area, Headquarters Unit, Yakima County, Washington. There have been more than 100 Black-necked Stilts at this location for several days. IMG_1609
Caught a pair of Red-necked Grebes today, working on their nest. New arrivals coming soon, I hope :)
With a neck like this it is a wonder any bait fish can navigate down the throat of this beautiful water bird.

Captured in Yala National Park, Sri Lanka"
TALLEST BIRD IN THE ISLAND
The Black-necked Stork (Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus), locally known as "Ali Manawa," is Sri Lanka's largest and rarest breeding stork, with a critically endangered population of fewer than 50 individuals. Standing up to 1.5 meters, they are primarily seen in pairs within southeastern coastal wetlands, especially Yala and Kumana National Parks. Wikipedia
Thank you so much for your kind words, faves and invitations to groups! I really appreciate each of them !!!

They have the second-longest legs in proportion to their bodies of any bird, exceeded only by flamingos.

Scientific name: Podiceps nigricollis.
Ford Green Nature Reserve. Staffordshire.
This small grebe has beautiful golden tufts of feathers on its face, contrasting with its black head and neck. Its steep forehead makes its head look 'peaked'. A rare breeding bird, it is also uncommon in winter.
Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.
Taken Addo Elephant National Park, Eastern Cape, South Africa.
Addo Elephant National Park is a diverse wildlife conservation park situated close to Port Elizabeth in South Africa and is one of the country's 20 national parks. It currently ranks third in size after Kruger National Park and the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. I spent four consecutive days within the park which provided an amazing variety of wildlife.

Black-necked Stilts are among the most stately of the shorebirds, with long rose-pink legs, a long thin black bill, and elegant black-and-white plumage that make them unmistakable at a glance. They move deliberately when foraging, walking slowly through wetlands in search of tiny aquatic prey. When disturbed, stilts are vociferous, to put it mildly, and their high, yapping calls carry for some distance.

A uniquely-patterned, medium-sized hummingbird, the adult male White-necked Jacobin has a blue head and chest, a sharply contrasting white nape, a green back and blackish wings. The White-necked Jacobin can be found in a variety of habitats from humid forest canopies, to tall second growth forests, and even in coffee and cacao plantations. White-necked Jacobin can be found within its broad range feeding on nectar and small arthropods; occasionally, many will concentrate at flowering trees where they are aggressive and even territorial to one another. Although uncommon throughout most of its large range, the White-necked Jacobin's population is believed to be stable, and consequently has not been placed on any threatened species lists. Here you can see a juvenile (left) and an adult (right).

It's quite a surprise to see these two tagging behind a group of mallard and american wigeon. This is my first capture of "Ring-necked ducks"
Many thanks to all those who view, fav & comment my pictures. I very much appreciate it.
Black-necked Stilts visited a constructed wetland storm water pond in northeast Edmonton for for three days last week. They haven't been observed there for the last three days.
My shutter speed was a little low for a flight shot, but I don't know if I will have the opportunity to get one flying against a background of ice and snow again.

One of my favourite places to go for a walk in my hometown, Nanaimo. Lovely trails that follow the shoreline and you can often see eagles, sea otters, deer and so much more.
A black-necked stilt wading and eating. Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch, Gilbert, AZ. And if the Flickr map is correct, it's also Congressional District 5, Arizona - for all those voting birds out there, I guess 😉

An ordinary-looking skimming pass took an unexpected turn when this skimmer slammed his head into the water to grab a fish as it sliced through the water. This shot displays the incredible neck dexterity skimmers have in hunting for fish. Instead of crashing and cartwheeling he effortlessly popped back up, regaining airspeed with just a few flaps of those powerful wings.
I did not expect to see Black-necked stilts here today. This one was part of a group of 14 that flew in. The constructed storm water wetland is the only piece of open water for many kilometers around here. Every day more species are arriving.
This area is the only place where migratory waterfowl can find a place to land and feed. It could get very interesting until the general thaw happens.

I love the natural tessellated pavement at Eaglehawk Neck Tasmania, one of the best examples of this unique geology I've seen. This photo doesn't really do the size of it justice.
Eaglehawk Neck itself has an interesting history. It is a narrow isthmus that connects the Tasman Peninsula with the Forestier Peninsula and hence to the rest of Tasmania.
As Eaglehawk Neck forms a natural thin gateway between the peninsulas, it was used by the British as a place to stop convicts attempting to escape from Port Arthur and other penal institutions on the Tasman Peninsula. A system was developed where a line of dogs were chained to posts across the "Neck" to warn of any convicts attempting to escape. The Dog Line was first implemented in 1831 and was used until the closure of Port Arthur as a penal institution in the 1870s.
Many thanks for every fave and comment, I appreciate them all!
Have a great new week out there!
