The classic book Shorebirds very thoroughly describes Black-necked Stilt legs as “Pinkish-red in adults, brighter when breeding, dull fleshy-pink or greyish-pink in juveniles.”* I read all this and I still can’t help but think of bubble-gum when I look at these elongated bright pink legs.

This bird represented only the second documented record of this species in Florida. Northern Florida represented a refreshing change of scenery and an opportunity to explore with a renewed sense of discovery.
