Bird on Stilts



My wife spotted and photographed these black-necked stilts while on a field trip to the Texas coast. While these birds may be a common salt- and fresh- water resident in Texas, they were a treat for us to see. One interesting fact about these birds is their leg length to body length ratio, which is only surpassed by the flamingo.
