mexicanus)
Place: Chandler, AZ, USA
Date: June 2003
Equipment: Nikon N90S, Nikkor AF-S 300/2.8 & TC20E (= 600/5.6),
tripod
Film: Fujichrome Sensia 100
Exposure: aperture priority matrix metered, natural light

Commentary: This is exactly the way I first saw a Black-necked
Stilt - in flight with bright red legs trailing behind. That was in
May of 1983, near San Francisco Bay. It's taken me 20 years to get a
decent image of one in flight. This was taken about five miles from
where I now live.
