Description
My husband, Neal Burgers, captured this beautiful image of a black-necked stilt and its reflection at Carson Lake Wetlands at Fallon, Nevada. This image looks beautiful on metal.
The Carson Lake Wetlands are one of the best birding sites in northern Nevada. Well maintained and easily accessible, these wetlands attract a wide range of bird species and provide birders an excellent opportunity for clear, close views of waterfowl, shorebirds, wading birds and raptors. This oasis is a birding hotspot not to be missed.
The Black-necked Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus) is an abundant shorebird of American wetlands and coastlines. It is found from the coastal areas of California through much of the interior western United States and along the Gulf of Mexico as far east as Florida, then south through Central America and the Caribbean to northwest Brazil southwest Peru, east Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. The northernmost populations, particularly those from inland, are migratory, wintering from the extreme south of the United States to southern Mexico, rarely as far south as Costa Rica; on the Baja California peninsula it is only found regularly in winter
