The Black-Winged Stilt (Himantopus himantopus) is a widely distributed shorebird. They occupy marshes, shallow lakes, and ponds, and some populations migrate to ocean coasts in the winter. As they pick up their food from sand or water, the Black-Winged Stilt mostly consumes insects and crustaceans. The species is characterized by their long pink legs, long and thin black bill, and white and black head and neck. Adult males have a black back with a greenish gloss, and adult females’ backs are brown with contrasting black feathers.
