These were the FIRST swans I spotted this season.

Black-necked Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus)Observer
conwaysuzDescription
An unusual visitor, but IDed for me by several very knowledgeable birders.
Had I paid more attention to the name of the bird I would have waited until it came out from behind the log. I assume it had very long, "stilt-like" legs ;)
