I visited the Woodland-Davis Clean Water Treatment Facility a couple of days ago. What got my immediate attention when we arrived was the loud and constant calling of the Black-necked Stilts. I see stilts all the time in Lincoln and they forage in the Salt Pond without making a sound. At the treatment plant, however, they have young. We saw two pairs of young Stilts, one pair younger than the other and as long as the young were out in the open (and even after they disappeared from our view) both sets of parents were in the air and calling loudly, swooping over the pond and even dive-bombing unsuspecting ducks that were deemed to be too close to their young.
