Hi Paula,
I tried to put this on the , but my email address wasn't accepted.
At any rate, I wanted to share a most interesting bird sighting that I
had yesterday.
While my friend Nan and I were paddling in Oyster Creek (a family
deeded creek, adjacent to Bluff Point) yesterday, I noticed a bird
feeding along the shore. A first I thought it might have been an
oyster catcher or skimmer. The color was somewhat similar, except that
this bird had very long orange-red colored legs. When I looked it up
in my bird book, I was able to positively identify the bird as a
BLACK-NECKED STILT. I've never seen one before. I don't think they are
common in this area. I was wondering if you or anyone else you know
may have seen one. I wish I had thought to get a picture with my
camera phone! He was very handsome. I will keep a lookout for him
again.
Ida
