Happy World Shorebirds Day from 2 juvie and 1 adult Black Necked Stilt doing a little sprucing up. Very cool to see so many here since it just doesn't happen that often. Until this, I had only ever seen 1. #birds #worldshorebirdday

3 Black Necked Stilts standing by a log. All three had previously been preening but 2 stopped to give me a look.

So many special bird days. Not that I’m complaining. Yesterday it was vultures and hummingbirds and today it’s #WorldShorebirdDay! So lots of shorebird photos incoming! #birds 🌿

A flock of small brown and white birds is in flight or just landed at the edge of blue water.

I'm told it's #WorldShorebirdDay so here are some more from my walk last week around Arrowhead Marsh in Oakland, CA.

Two grey shorebirds with striking black and white patterns on their underwings (willets, Tringa semipalmata) come in for a landing in shallow water near a shoreline

Two willets (Tringa semipalmata) face off, bills open in a "HEY THAT WAS MY SMALL FISH OR ARTHROPOD" shouting match

A patterned grey bill with a long grey beak and bright yellow legs (greater yellowlegs, Tringa melanoleuca; no clue why they call them that)

A strikingly patterned tan-brown shorebird with a long pink-to-black bill (marbled godwit, Limosa fedoa) wades in shallow water surrounded by smaller, greyer shorebirds (willets, Tringa semipalmata)

A turnstone stands atop a rocky pebble shore. The small shorebird features a mottled brown, black, and white patterned back with a crisp white underbelly, a short dark bill, and distinctive bright orange legs that contrast against the smooth, grey stones beneath it.
