Birding Today

Skip and I went to the Birding Center this morning in hopes the tide would be a bit lower and we'd see more waders. Hmmm, not really. However it didn't deter me from taking a bunch of photos.
Black-necked stilts - the brown-ish back on the one on the right indicates the female

Marbled godwits, gulls, and other shore birds
Same pair of flycatchers from the other side
I couldn't get a good picture of a scissor-tail in flight but here's one I found on Google.
A couple dozen black-necked stilts.
