Steganopus is a genus of birds that belongs to the family Recurvirostridae. The genus contains three species of wading birds that are found in the Americas. Their unique feature is their long, thin legs that allow them to walk easily on muddy or marshy land and also, as a result, gives it the nickname of "Stilt". Besides the scientific name, the bird also goes by other names such as stilt bird, long-legged plover, and stilts. Stilts are commonly found in shallow wetlands, salt pans, lagoons, and estuaries, and their diet primarily consists of insects, crustaceans, and small fish. Their striking appearance and distinctive behavior make them an interesting bird to observe.
