Creature Feature: What do black-necked stilts and flamingos have in common?


As seasonal changes ebb and flow here at the Marine Science Institute, so too do the birds visiting along our shoreline. One bird that drifts in and out of our waters is the black-necked stilt. A bird who has far more in common with a flamingo than one would think.

Learn more about the black-necked stilt in this week's Creature Feature.
