I find it interesting that there could even be a theme of wading birds in a place such as Arizona. Myself included, you don’t normally think of Arizona in the context of having any wading birds, let alone several species.
It is always a treat to come upon them in some remote place where the water either flows year round, such as the Salt, Gila, or Rio Verde Rivers, or some of the few lakes we have that always maintain good water levels.
This bird is quite common in our area and is known for having the longest legs in proportion to its body size.
All of my art is available in a high quality print for as little as thirty dollars.
My latest watercolor… the Black-necked Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus )
