Yup, I'm still processing shots from Mexico from 2 weeks ago. Here are some stilts that were at the Barre de Potosi, salt water marsh area. C & C welcome.

Well Herb, the name sure fits the bird Those guys are quite cool, plenty of leg for deeper wading but I assume primarily shore birds? I like 'em

Nice job Herb! I like the wide mouth in #1 and the feather detail in #4.

Lovely shots Herb,

I've just gone through a lot of Stilt shots as well, from Bolsa Chica. I think they're elegant.

Funny looking Reddish Egret, but I'll take your word for it.

# 1 is my top pick.

Thanks Nello. I agree about the reddish egret, it does look like a moorhen.
