Black-necked Stilt

We have just returned from our fourth trip to Cuba. Our third time at Cayo Coco. Over the next week or two I hope to showcase some of the cool birds we observed.

The Black-necked Stilt is a tall but small-bodied shorebird with very long legs, a long neck, small head, and thin, straight bill.

These birds are black above and white below, with white around the eye and rosy pink legs.

Black-necked Stilts were common in the lagoons around the resort plus there was great numbers at the Cayo Coco sewage lagoons.
