Black-necked Stilt in Hennepin County
2012-04-15

'Casual' in Minnesota - Five or fewer records in Hennepin County for the Spring season

Old Cedar Ave Bridge in Bloomington provided a lot of excitement for many birders on Sunday and one of these birds was the Black-necked Stilt found by Sue Plankis. Many birders enjoyed seeing it along the Bluff Trail west of the observation platform. This long legged bird with the eye catching very long hotpink legs foraged in and out of the shallow edges of Long Meadow Lake.
