Great shots Stan...you could have dropped a few of these off on 193 south and pointed them in my direction as you zipped through here the other day. Another species that I'm apparently looking in all the wrong places for.

Thanks, Sharon. I don't see these near home either, although they are all over other parts of Florida, and of course these in Texas.

Great shots Stan. I've only seen Stilts once and that was on your Lake Seminole.

Thank you, Don. Funny, I've never seen them at Lake Seminole or anywhere else near here. Farther south and toward the east coast there are plenty of them.

Great shots Stan, sorry I missed them earlier. I do have just one question....why do they call them STILTS?

Thanks, Mike. I have no clue of what's behind the name.
