At first I thought this was a stilt with a tan head. It seemed to be a good idea to check the bird book before uploading it. Its length is about 18 inches and its wingspan is about 31 inches. It weighs about 11 ounces. It has an upturned bill which, along with its head, is usually pointed down. It hangs out in shallow waters. Thanks for any comments. ENJOY!

At first I thought they were riding turtles and racing WC. A bird that I have never seen. They look very well balanced with their reflections. A truly enjoyable post.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.
Looks like a stand-off. Really handsome birds, and a nice shot.

Looks like they are facing each other off eh!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .

Beautiful birds!!! I agree with Biff, very elegant. Nicely done. =)

Nice looking bird, we have some similar in Holland, which are hard to capture. Anywhere with a mile and they are gone!

If you can't find the words, you may as well shoot it...
