Description
A striking black-and-white bird with very long, thin red legs, the Black-necked Stilt is found along the edges of shallow water in an open country. Black-necked Stilts inhabit shallow wetlands from the western United States to Central America and parts of South America. In the United States, Black-necked Stilts are commonly found in salt ponds, flooded lowlands, or shallow lagoons. Human-maintained wetlands such as sewage ponds or flooded pastures are particularly suitable habitats for these birds. Black-necked Stilts nest on the ground. This Mom and babies are out for an early walk in Gilbert,Arizona. Fine Art America watermark will not appear on purchased artwork
