The BLACK-NECKED STILT continues at Kumph Marsh, Iroquois NWR. The bird is extremely difficult to see because of all the vegetation. Betsy and I walked Feeder Road for the entire length of Kumph Marsh and did not see it. Then, on the way back, Betsy spotted it where the vegetation was slightly lower. The bird walked left and almost disappeared behind the vegetation before making a short flight and completely disappearing for the remainder of our time there. Another person looked after we left and did not see it. So, long story short, you will need some persistence and/or a bit of luck to see this bird.
Good birding!
