Brad photographed a Black-necked Stilt, Himantopus mexicanus, that was feeding in a marshy area in the Refugio de Vida Silvestre-Pantanos de Villa Marshes the morning of Friday, January 13, 2012. This juvenile's parent was keeping a close eye on it while it fed nearby. The down covered young are a light olive-brown color with lengthwise rows of black splotched upperparts and dull white underparts. Young Black-necked Stilts are precocial (relatively mature and mobile from birth or hatching) and are often seen swimming within two hours after hatching. They are also capable of moving rapidly on land at that early time. However, in spite of this early mobile development, the young normally return to the nest for several more days. Our final destination for the day was to be the fishing village of Pucusana which is located 60 km south of Lima in southern Lima Province. Temperatures were in the low 80's with partly cloudy skies and high humidity.
