The mini-mitigation pond at Garretson Point, Martin Luther King Shoreline, is rapidly drying out.? It's a good place to view both Black-necked Stilt? and American Avocet chicks feeding.? 

The adult parents of both species are very defensive, driving off any "intruders".

I heavily modified the background in Photoshop to make it stand out.
