What may be the Cleveland region's first documented Black-necked stilt was 
actively feeding Tuesday evening at a private wetland/pond near 
Wellington, about an hour southwest of Cleveland.

Dane Adams, a retired dentist, discovered the boldly plumaged wader with 
bright red legs about 3 p.m. working the shoreline at one of the three 
ponds on his fabulous property. The stilt was still present at sunset, in 
the company of spotted sandpipers, lesser yellowlegs and a semipalmated 
plover -- all apparently unfazed by passing trains.

Dane photographed a red-necked phalarope in the same pond on Monday.

Check out rarebird.org for a photo of the stilt later today.
