    Beautiful bird. The one in flight is so amazingly sleek and stream-lined.

    That might be the most beautiful bird I've ever seen, although I should admit that as a kid a neighbor had a flock of disobedient peafowl. I'm down on peacocks.

    Nicole: What a neat name, does look like a bird on stilts. I don't think a jacket is necessary for the break in the weather. LOL

    Love the Black-winged Stilt photos! Very interesting bird.

    77 F. (25 C.) would be quite balmy here!
