Today, I found the first Black Necked Stilt nest to appear at the Dan Click Ponds. Note that they really don’t construct a nest like most birds. Instead, they just lay their eggs on a little vegetation or mud just above the water level. In these photos, it is the male that is tending the nest and eggs.   |

You are definitely persistent in your pursuit of great photos!! Primo shots Ira!!! Thank you, Frank. I'm an old retired man, and the only thing I have to do is explore the the outdoors trying to photograph wildlife.  |
