Late in the afternoon on August 9, 2012, we were driving to our hotel in Swakopmund after birding in the Walvis Bay/Kuiseb Delta area. We made one last birding stop at a wetlands area where we photographed this Black-winged Stilt (Himantopus himantopus). Long red legs account for 60% of this species' height and are conspicuous when the bird is in flight or at rest. Its wings are black while the rest of the plumage is white. Temperatures were in the upper 70's on this clear afternoon.
