Black-necked Stilts – foraging mudflat for worms – Birds of California

Beautiful Black-necked Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus) shorebirds foraging worms. Three different birds are shown. The Stilt combs the mudflats for invertebrate prey, using visual identification combined with the tactile sense of its fine-tipped bill. The bird shakes the worm in the water, rinsing off the mud, and cuts it into suitable bite-size pieces. These scenes are from September and October at Adobe Creek, Palo Alto Baylands Nature Preserve. This is part of a 3 video series on Black-necked Stilt from the Baylands.

Welcome to the #BirdingVisions Channel – portraits and sound recordings of birds and their habitats, sharing the sublime beauty of nature. These wildlife videos are both documentary and impressions of an experience. I hope you get a sense of being there: from the Rock Wren of Willis Creek Slot Canyon, Utah, singing Whinchat in the rugged heathland of coastal Norway, a band of Arabian Babblers in Israel, to soaring Kites over Kyoto, Japan.

The playlists are organized by geographical region and topic (singing birds, shorebirds, etc). The 200+ videos are from many different places across the globe, with a focus on birds of North America and the Western Palearctic, including Europe, Israel and Morocco. This is a non-monetized no-ads channel. Contact clive.bramham@gmail.com for licensing of footage and other enquiries.
