    Black-necked Stilt San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary Irvine, California

    The SJWS is probably one of the best places to get close to these beautiful birds.

    As well as the American Avocets the ponds are the ideal mating grounds for these magnifcant looking birds and the mating dance is a sight to see.:)
