Two interesting shots taken while in the right place at the right time.

As usual the locals were hanging together. The best part was how the black-necked Stilts worked the water around the big guys. These birds are visitors breeding in the warmer US spots before heading back down to South America. They quickly figure out how to deal with locals.

Beautiful contrasts between the locals and the black-necked Stilts. Stunning capture, Ted!
Thank you. The old Beauty and the beast for sure.
If I were a stilt I’d be dammn nervous that close. Great shot !
There’s no telling out there 😂. I’ve seen Egrets stand on a gator, a Spoonbill bite one to move. 🤣🤣
