This photo is taken in al-Wathba reserve in Abu Dhabi.
The bird seen in the photo is called Black-Winged Stilt, it is a kind of birds that has a long red legs that allow it to wade into deeper water, where it may be seen snatching insects that hover over the water’s surface, dipping its head below the water to catch small fish, or pulling small worms from the mud.
You can see how it is slowing walking in calm water searching for it food.
A foraging Wing-banded Hornero is reflected in a small watercourse: a favoured habitat of this species, per eBird. The location was near the Rio Macacu in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. I got this rewarding perspective by crouching low, a technique in bird photography that often yields pleasing results due to a more intimate vantage point than to be had by standing up and pointing down.

A wing from the wreckage of the RAF Canberra jet which crashed on t-Sagairt Mor in 1956. Lots of pieces are strewn all over the mountaintop and this trip sees finding more of them before making the final ascent to Carn a'Choire Bhoidheach.
Carn a'Choire Bhoidheach (pronounced Carn a-Corry voddoyich - or something like) stands at 1118 meters (3667 feet) and completes my circuit of the five Munro's of White Mounth. It's taken me 3 years and 4 separate climbs to complete this circuit, starting with my first ever Munro Lochnagar in 2016, but I'm there at last!!
One of the most abundant birds across North America, and one of the most boldly colored, the Red-winged Blackbird is a familiar sight atop cattails, along soggy roadsides, and on telephone wires. Glossy-black males have scarlet-and-yellow shoulder patches they can puff up or hide depending on how confident they feel. Females are a subdued, streaky brown, almost like a large, dark sparrow. Their early and tumbling song are happy indications of the return of spring.

Thank you for visiting, and for your kind comments and favorites. They are greatly appreciated!
It was caught changing direction here - thus the unusual leg positioning.
These are still considered "rare" in this locality, but they have been numerous around my place for years now.

Taken on our way to Washington DC. I am tagging along on a business trip for my husband.
White-winged Chough
≠=====================â‰
Found a family feeding along a dry creek-line.
Sometimes they can be very tolerant with me and will carry on as if I wasn't there.
But, on this day, the wind, and low light meant they were on high alert and this one is just about to call and they all flew.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
Another day spent defending my land,
for a nest in the reeds, is what I have planed.
And not just any female will catch my eye,
but she must have heart, when she takes to the sky.
Many our little ones will prove to be,
if we both work hard, to provide what they need.
Soon the sun will fade from my sight,
and I'll dream of tomorrow, and bid you good night.
White-winged Black Tern
≠================â‰
This was about the best well coloured one I was able to get near to. There were several well advanced, but they stayed on the far side of the pond.
I was a little girl
Alone in my little world
Who dreamed of a little home for me
I played pretend between the trees
And fed my house guests bark and leaves
And laughed in my pretty bed of green
I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest swing
I had a dream
Long walks in the dark through woods grown behind the park
I asked God who I'm supposed to be
The stars smiled down on me
God answered in silent reverie
I said a prayer and fell asleep
I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest tree
I had a dream
Now I'm old and feeling gray
I don't know what's left to say about this life I'm willing to leave
I lived it full and I lived it well
There's many tales I lived to tell
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now to fly from the highest wing
I had a dream
I was a little girl
Alone in my little world
Who dreamed of a little home for me

from Wiki:
The buff-winged cinclodes is partly migratory. Much of the populations in Tierra del Fuego and Patagonia move north after the breeding season, as apparently do some from the year-round range. In the austral winter they are found in northern Argentina, southeastern Paraguay, much of Uruguay, and as far north in Brazil as Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina states. Some also remain approximately at their breeding latitude but move to lower elevations.
The BWCI belongs to the family Ovenbirds or furnariids, a large family of small suboscine passerine birds found from Mexico and Central to southern South America. They form the family Furnariidae. This is a large family containing around 321 species and 71 genera. The ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapilla), which breeds in North America, is not a furnariid – rather it is a distantly related bird of the wood warbler family, Parulidae.
The ovenbirds are a diverse group of insectivores which get their name from the elaborate, vaguely "oven-like" clay nests built by the horneros, although most other ovenbirds build stick nests or nest in tunnels or clefts in rock.[1] The Spanish word for "oven" (horno) gives the horneros their name. Furnariid nests are always constructed with a cover, and up to six pale blue, greenish or white eggs are laid. The eggs hatch after 15 to 22 days, and the young fledge after a further 13 to 20 days.
Furnariidae:
Sclerurinae – miners and leaftosser (18 species)
Dendrocolaptinae – woodcreepers (60 species)
Furnariinae – "true" ovenbirds (243 species)
