This wader is a somewhat rare visitor to Massachusetts, typically migrating no further north than New Jersey. Black-necked Stilts have a distinctive color pattern and very long legs. This was the first one I have seen other than in places like Texas, Florida and South Carolina. It certainly caught the attention of local birdwatchers!
