12/04/2016 Black-winged Stilt at Weir Wood Reservoir

Weir Wood Reservoir

Just as I was finishing my usual Tuesday volunteering stint at Weir Wood Reservoir word came through of a sighting of a Black-winged Stilt at the dam end.  

Within 15 minutes I had packed up and was viewing the bird from the Sailing Club.  It as on the far side of the reservoir directly opposite.  The views were not great but sufficiently clear to make the ID.

Alas I could not stay to get better views.

Hope it's a female so I can dedicate it to Geraldine.
