Black-necked Slit Trio
Florida, USA
The black-necked stilt (Himantopus mexicanus) is a common shorebird of North and South American wetlands and coastlines. They are almost always seen near shallow water, both salt and fresh, and are especially common around mudflats, salt pans, saltmarshes, and flooded fields. There they forage for crustaceans, insects, worms, small fish and plant seeds.
Black-necked Stilts are black above and white below, with white around the eye and pink legs. In females and immature birds the black areas can be brownish.
