The Water Ranch is a great spot, definitely the best birding set up within the Phoenix area that I've yet visited. <br />It was a great bit of fun and fortune to have the Stilt stray that close. They're common at the Ranch and must be pretty used to foot traffic, but they're too elegant and dainty to pass up if given the opportunity to photograph.Laurence Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766876797454283812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791077723521794200.post-10275104001801479282012-02-02T18:06:05.509-07:002012-02-02T18:06:05.509-07:00P.S.

He seemed 'lonely' and had a thing for my shoes. He would come and just sit on them.
