[QUOTE="Garrulous Jay, post: 3563040, member: 49028"] [b]Stilts[/b] I enclose enlargements of photos of the typical stilt of Uruguay in February. This is as it is depicted in the Collins guide to Birds of Southern South America by La Pena and Rumboll and also in a book called Flora y Fauna de Uruguay Bosques by Geymonat and Lombardi and in both books it is called Himantopus mexicanus (Tero real in Spanish) and also in La Pena as the "South American Stilt". On line, however, H. mexicanus is anglicised as "Black winged stilt", which here in England is the name given to the European species H. himantopus. On line I also see reference to a "White backed stilt" H. melanurus. What have I got here. Can anybody clarify please? [/QUOTE]
