Swede’s Photographs

Stilts in the Shallows

These are a black necked stilt (Himantopus mexicanus) with pink legs, and an American avocet with blue legs (Recurvirostra americana). I took this photo a couple of years ago at the Sabine Wildlife Refuge in Louisiana.

"The American Avocet takes elegance to a new level. This long-legged wader glides through shallow waters swishing its slender, upturned bill from side to side to catch aquatic invertebrates. It dons a sophisticated look for summer with a black-and-white body and a rusty head and neck. During the winter the head and neck turn a grayish white, but the bird loses none of its elegance as it forages along coastal waters or rests while standing on one leg." - allaboutbirds.org

" In this serene image, two distinct bird species share the shallow water: the Black-necked Stilt with its pink legs, long straight bill, and striking black-and-white plumage, and the American Avocet with its blue legs, upturned bill, and cinnamon-white coloration. Both birds exhibit graceful behavior as they forage for food in their watery habitats, making them captivating subjects for birdwatchers." - Copilot
