Field Notes

Description:

And there is also a Black-necked Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus).

Notes:

We were driving by the colombian vineyards and I saw a puddle full of Great egrets, we stopped and I realized there was some other birds (small ones), I'm not sure what they are, or if they are young Great egrets.

Photos are cropped because I only had my macro 100mm (I was waiting to see a lot of insects, but saw nothing) and they were really far away, but I hope we are able to ID the other birds.

The Black & White one in photo 2 is a Black-necked Stilt...the others might be Lesser Yellowlegs.
