		The gods of nomenclature have declared that Stilts, along with the Avocets, form the Recurvirostridae bird family, though controversy erupts once one gets down to the classifying the species.
		Thus, depending upon whom one asks this bird is either another Black-Winged Stilt, or a Hawaiian Stilt, and this one is either a Black-Winged or a Black-Necked.
		Shorebirds goes on to classify New Zealand's Black Stilt and Australia's Banded Stilt as separate species, leaving us with three stilt species overall, one of which has five sub-species.
