The stilt was still there this morning around 8:00 a.m. This was my second attempt to see it. I went at lunch time on Monday and found only a couple killdeer on the pond. This morning I spotted it right away on the far side of the pond. After watching for a few minutes, I looked away and when I looked back it was gone. Relocated it right away in shallow water at the far left of the pond, much closer. What an outstanding bird, just beautiful. It was actively feeding in the water. There were also about a dozen mallards. Carole Gobert Knox County, Tennessee _________________________________________________________________ On the road to retirement?
