On the 29th -it was still very hot- I
went back and found 5 Black-winged Stilts, mostly juveniles together with about 10 Red-necked
Stints and a single Dunlin. 2 Little Ringed Plovers flew in as well. Seeing
them without their summer colors made me realize the heat was about to end.
Black-winged Stilt, セイタカシギ
I love the elegant stilts
with their long legs and delicate features.
The juveniles haven’t got the flattering black and white colors yet and their legs are still far from red, but their faces are so sweet…I took way too many photo’s.
Red-necked Stint, トウネン
The smaller birds kept close to the edge of the field, huddled together for protection.

But the little plovers don’t seem to mind
