Until this video, I had only ever seen individual specimens of this magnificent bird. Now I see they flock very much like sandpipers and so are more closely allied with them than they appear to be when alone.
Thanks for the "Louisiana" stilts (my home state). Made me stand in front of the Clem we have: a lone stilt, with a shadow stilt reflected in the shallow water (1965). When was the last time I really looked at it???
Years later Bob was painting large flocks of birds around Chatham. If I had been a closer friend, and had thought of it, I would have invited him here to paint the stilts at Bombay NWR.
I really enjoyed this video and the information. Thank you.

@forrestbogan Glad you liked the video! That was a Northern Harrier. They have a superficial resemblance to owls because of their small facial discs.

OBTW That wasn't an owl, was it?

Thank you, again, for the wonderful photography.
