๏ปฟGorgeously graphic and vividly pink-legged, Black-necked Stilts are one of my favorite bird species. This female was foraging in a shallow marsh while her mate took his turn sitting on the nest.

A handful of adult and juvenile Eastern Kingbirds entertained us at Blackwater NWR last year, singing and flitting back and forth between the trees along the road between marsh ponds. We finally got a shot of these two against a gorgeous blue sky.

Flight practice underway. Watching this duckling flap its tiny wings is one of my favorite late spring birding memories.
