Black-necked Stilt

From the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service:




Today is "Walk on Stilts Day"! Black-necked Stilts like this one walk delicately, and tilt forward to pick food with a needle-like bill. Stilts have the second-longest legs in proportion to their body in the bird world, exceeded only by the flamingo.
