Pied Stilt Hybrid

Postby Mike Vincent » Fri Mar 23, 2018 7:12 pm

Today at Miranda I saw this Pied Stilt hybrid on the Stilt Pond. Can anyone give me an idea of how close to a Black Stilt it may be?

Good Morning Mike. You might find the following link to the NOTORNIS article on hybridisation of stilts of interest.
