Black-Necked Stilt in flight on a blue sky morning

Some interesting facts about the Black-Necked stilt:

They feed in both salt and fresh water on half webbed feet that allow them to swim, although they rarely do.

 

They have the second-longest legs in proportion to their bodies of any bird, exceeded only by flamingos.

-Himantopus mexicanus
