Description
The long, spindly proportions, black-and-white pattern, and bright pinkish legs immediately identify this bird as a Black-necked Stilt. The black of the back extends up the back of the neck, hence the name Black-necked Stilt. Black-necked Stilts occur in the temperate regions of North, Central, and South America. In North America they breed along the east coast of the US from Delaware to Florida, across the Gulf states to Texas, and in the western Great Plains and basins of the western US. The Black-necked Stilt was once thought to be the same species as the Eurasian Black-winged Stilt [Himantopus himantopus], which has little or no black on the head and neck. Unfortunately a mistake I have made in the past..
Thanks for taking time to look and comment if you would like to..

What a gorgeous capture ! Fantastic colors and details ! Excellent work !!! VOTE
LOL!!!! Teriffic capture :)
Classification is something that suffers in a world of anti-intellectualism. No footholds or handholds are allowed on the steep slope of skepticism. Scrutiny scans the most intimate details. Hectoring values the pleasure of defeat. Yet not one word must define what has transpired.
Fantastic shot. Excellent focus, very sharp and detailled!!
