Black-necked Stilt. Photographed in Merritt Island NWR, Florida. Click image to enlarge. |
Black-necked Stilts are wetland specialists. They probe aquatic invertebrates from shallow water. They also eat small fish and tadpoles. They are vulnerable to pesticide and polluted runoff and have somewhat declined in the 20th century. Due to conservation enthusiasts, their populations have been stable and slightly increased. I photographed this bird from car window. After shutting off car engine, all I had to do was to enjoy the show. Let nature amuse our sense of wonder :) ..Happy birding! - Linda
