Feathery Friday: Black-necked Stilt Chick

A common bird around the shores of salt water within Santa Clara County, the Black-necked Stilt nests in the county. This youngster is fairly recently fledged, and I found it wandering near the shores in Palo Alto, with a nervous mom watching me carefully for the few minutes I sat there and grabbed a few shots.
