Black-Necked Stilt

(Himantopus mexicanus)

Description:

Black-Necked Stilts, when not foraging on the freshwater wetlands, loafed in peace in the shallows. Hurricane Harvey, in 2017, hit Port Aransas (Texas) hard. The beginning stages of rebuilding the Port Aransas Nature Center’s boardwalk began with a 1500′ footpath, but there are plans to extend it to about three miles.
