Juvie. Black-necked Stilt

Black-necked Stilt
Southern, California

This BNS decided to do a wing stretch rather close to me and I was unable to get the full stretch without clipping the wings.
But I was happy with this one because of the eye contact the little drop of water forming at the tip of the bill was nice....

Lovely lighting and great exposure James. Love the action and detail you captured in this image and the little water droplet on the bill is a wonderful bonus . Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

Agree with Judy Lynn, I like it alot :-) It may need a bit more room above, but not much.

I also agree with Judy and Daniel about the room at the top but the image is stunning, love it and a great job.
