	January 2004 Central Valley Black-necked Stilt and American Avocet Study - Placer County, California
		The ratio of stilts to avocets was 5.8:1 in the Sacramento Valley versus 1.1:1 in the San Joaquin Valley.
		The percent of stilts (35%) and avocets (48%) in managed wetlands in the Tulare Basin is somewhat misleading, though, as a very high proportion of these were recorded in wetland mitigation or compensation habitats created to offset the potential harm to shorebirds and other wildlife from selenium concentrated in agricultural evaporation ponds.
		Stilts and avocets were more evenly distributed among a greater number of habitats in the Tulare Basin than in other regions of the Central Valley.

	Black-Necked Stilt
		The Black-Necked Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus) is one of the characteristic birds of the fresh or salty shallow sloughs and grassy marshes.
		Editor's Note: The charts showing the "Seasonal Abundance of Birds on the Bear River Refuge" indicate that the best time to find the peak population of the Black-Necked Stilt is the latter part of April and early weeks of May. As many as 7,500 have been recorded on the refuge during this period.
		The suitable feeding places are few and scattered, so the black-necked stilt population is not evenly distributed throughout its range.
