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.
