A few more BN Stilts

[Jason]

Here are a few more from a few years ago that I just processed. Spring is trying to get here, but ole man winter keeps pushing it back. I hope the struggle ends this week. New migrants are trying to get here, and if all goes well, this coming week should start to reveal lots of new birds and that means I will be quite busy attempting to image them. So, for now, I hope you enjoy these 2 from the vault.

We love the vault! Beautiful shots. That green grass must make you really tired of winter.

REALLY like #1. There are a few stilting around Merritt Island lately.

They are both very nice, Jason. Where were these taken? I'm with you on spring. It's long overdue in our parts!

Thanks for all the replies. Appreciate the postive feedback. Aaron (photolizard), these were taken in a flooded field in the Mississippi bottoms over in Illinois. Conditions have to be JUST right for this spot to hold water and generate the habitat needed for this bird to nest. 2 years ago, it was PERFECT there. This year, well...time will tell, flooding is a big concern.
