Country intro
himantopus mexicanus - one legged bandids :)
In the changing tides, where the water between rio San Juan and Lago Nicaragua is very shallow, these stilts spend hours waiting for fast food in the river.
PS this was taken with a manual 600 mm and a TC from a moving boat. I am surprised that I got any decent shots.
The black-necked stilt is a locally 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 Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands.
