Little Blue Heron

A striking black-and-white bird with very long, thin red legs. Black-necked Stilts have the second-longest legs in proportion to their bodies of any bird, exceeded only by flamingos.

Black-necked Stilts inhabit shallow wetlands from the western United States to Central America and parts of South America. In the United States, Black-necked Stilts are commonly found in salt ponds, flooded lowlands, or shallow lagoons.

Black-necked Stilts wade in shallow waters to capture their meals of aquatic invertebrates and fish. They often consume such fare as crayfish, brine flies, brine shrimp, beetles, water boatmen, and tadpoles. They peck, snatch, and plunge their heads into the water in pursuit of their food, and will herd fish into shallow waters to trap them there.

After a week of dull weather it was nice to see some colour in the sky. Wet feet were unavoidable to get to this island of stones on the Tongariro river.
