Black-necked Stilt

Himantopus mexicanus

Least Concern

The Black-necked Stilt is a shorebird of North and South American wetlands and shallow lakes. It uses its bill, legs, and alert flight to feed on invertebrates, seeds, or small aquatic prey along coasts, mudflats, rivers, lakes, grasslands, or open ground; many shorebirds make impressive seasonal movements between breeding and non-breeding areas.
