Description
On my recent walk at the local wetlands I came across this Black-necked stilt and it's nest. There are a lot of these birds there, and I have always wanted to get some good photos of them. But they are rather skittish and stay a good distance from the waters edge. Making it tough from my 300mm zoom to get a worth while shot.
But since they build their nests close to the water edge I have an opportunity now.
This nest has 4 eggs under that bird butt and I will be keeping an eye on it for next couple weeks to come. Hoping I can catch a shot of the babies when they hatch.
Thanks for looking. -Bruce

Just perfect my friend. Amazing capture. God Bless.
Very interesting... do they build those nests on the water or are they exposed rocks they build on? I would think the tide would be a problem if that was the case. The back view with the look over the shoulder is priceless.
Great shot. What a marvelous opportunity! Hope you can capture the babies as well.
agree wit jophoto, very nice shot!
A fortunate discovering and a very good photograph.It will be interesting to watch the progress.
Great shot. The white around her eye makes it look like she has very large eyes - a very distinctive look...
