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.
