Field Guide
Banded Stilt
4 sections
The Banded Stilt is a highly nomadic Australian shorebird, famous for its unpredictable appearances at inland salt lakes after rare flooding events. This species is uniquely adapted to Australia’s boom-and-bust climate, gathering in vast numbers to breed when conditions are right, and dispersing across the continent during dry times.
