Wading birds long legs and equally long and flexible toes are help them keep balance in wet areas with uneven ground.

BOTD: Black-necked Stilt

"Everything about the Black-necked Stilt seems delicate -- from its incredibly thin stilt-legs to its slim wings and its needle-like bill -- yet it manages to thrive on the sun-baked flats around shallow lakes, some of them in searing climates."

Black Necked Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus)

Here is a couple black necked stilts in shallow water of the bayou at the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge in Louisiana.

"Black-necked Stilt and American Avocet belong to the same family (Recurvirostridae), and they are capable of hybridizing and producing young. The hybrid offspring are rare. Birders who have documented this cross have given it the nickname “avo-stilt.”" - allaboutbirds.org

Supermodel vs BEAK

Black-necked stilts inhabit lakes, estuaries, salt ponds, and wetlands in western North America, Central America, and northern South America. They eat invertebrates and fish, and have been recorded herding fish into shallow water to trap them. Breeding pairs cooperate in building nests and incubating eggs. While semi-colonial when nesting, they are very territorial during the breeding season. Parent stilts have been known to feign weak or sick behavior to distract predators from their young. Relative to their body size, black-necked stilts have the second-longest legs of any bird, after only the flamingos.

Ibisbills forage and breed along rocky streams in Central Asia and the Himalayas. They eat invertebrates such as caddisflies and grasshoppers, as well as small fish. They are generally solitary and monogamous, and apparently not shy of humans. Both parents share incubating duties, and young from a previous brood may help to raise subsequent broods.

Elegance

This black-necked stilt looks graceful in this photograph, doesn't it?

"Black-necked Stilts are among the most stately of the shorebirds, with long rose-pink legs, a long thin black bill, and elegant black-and-white plumage that make them unmistakable at a glance. They move deliberately when foraging, walking slowly through wetlands in search of tiny aquatic prey." - allaboutbirds.org
