Summary
| Description | In order to ward off predators and distract them from the location of their young, stilts (among many other shorebirds such as Killdeer, plovers, and american avocets) display a behavior that draws attention of a possible predator away by flapping their wings on the ground. This display resembles a weak or sick bird, that would be easier prey for the predator catch. (Rinus Baak/USFWS) |
