Great observation, Larry! Thanks for sharing!
How about the rest of us? Is the summer heat keeping everyone from shooting
pictures? I've been out a few times, but birds have not been cooperative or my
attention was on other critters. I cleaned out my bluebird box today and
discovered that after two successful broods the pair abandoned a pair of eggs
when they quit. I thought that was strange...

Subject: [missbirdphotos] Stilt and chick
After presuming that the pair of stilts that I was observing were not a
"mated" pair,I was greatly surprised by the appearance of one and then three
chicks. This was the only time I could catch a chick with its momma. They seem
to wander on their own, at least during the day, seldom touching base with a
parent. In the days following this photo another pair has shown up in the field
much to the displeasure of the original pair. Lots of chasing and constant
chatter from all four birds.
