The first thought I had upon viewing this lovely image was that the exposure is perfect – gorgeous detail in both the whites and blacks. :D

Very nice flight shot. Do these guys constantly chatter while flying like our Black-necked Stilts do?

Such beautiful and elegant birds! Captured superbly, KK. Perfect exposure for the black and white plumage.

Thanks, EJ!
The Black-winged Stilt does chatter while flying too.
I've quite a few inflight shots with open bill ...
