Black-necked Stilts Wading in Shallow Wetland Waters
Sunday, April 26th, 2026 at 10:44:17 PM · 2026/Yolo Bypass Wetlands
Two Black-necked Stilts stand in shallow water surrounded by marsh grasses and reeds. These striking shorebirds display their characteristic black and white plumage and remarkably long, bright red legs. The left bird appears to be foraging with its head down, while the right bird stands alert. The calm water creates subtle reflections, and the surrounding vegetation includes both green growing reeds and dried brown stalks, suggesting early spring or late winter conditions. The lighting is natural and the overall scene captures the peaceful atmosphere of a wetland ecosystem.
