Field Notes

Description:

I’m yet another bird that visits Florida during the wintertime. I have a shape similar to a Black-necked Stilt, but I don’t have a black head and my beak curves up a little bit. If you find me in late summer or early spring, you might find that my head and neck are pink, which is my breeding plumage.
