Field Notes

Description:

Black-necked Stilts wade for their food, and will only swim or dive when under duress.

Habitat:

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, since such environments have some sparse vegetation without being too overgrown. In this case in agolf course.
