Very interesting capture Tom. I didn't know they fed on nectar.

Was surprised how they turned out Another beautiful tack sharp shot, Richard. You always have such interesting perches. This one is so cool the way it comes to the bird from being blurry to sharp. This is an unusual but very nice shot, Tom! I really like it. amyandmark3 wrote in post #19222065 Black necked stilt ![]() Nice capture of this black-necked stilt, Mark!
