A juvenile black-necked stilt stretches as part of its evening preening before roost at the Bear River Migratory Refuge in Utah. In late summer, most adult stilts migrate from the area, but first-year stilts stay back as they work on their flight skills. This stilt was part of a small group of juveniles that was feeding in a drying lake. They were a little nervous when they saw me settling to photography. However, they did not fly away eventually becoming relaxed enough to preen just a few feet away.
