		The stilt obtains its food by wading in shallow water and seizing the insects that fly over or float upon its surface or the small crustaceans that swim beneath, for which purpose its slender extremities are, as might be expected, admirably adapted.
		The stilt inhabiting India is now recognized to be H. candidus, but Australia possesses a distinct species, H. novae-hollandiae, which also occurs in New Zealand, though that country has in addition a species peculiar to it, H. novae-zelandiae, differing from all the rest by assuming in the breeding-season an altogether fl plumage.
		Allied in many ways to the stilts, but differing in many undeniably generic characters, are the birds known as Avocets,3 forming the genus Recurvirostra of Linnaeus.

	Plant Invaders of Mid-Atlantic Natural Areas: Japanese Stilt Grass
		Japanese stilt grass was first introduced into the United States in Tennessee around 1919 and likely escaped as a result of its use as a packing material for porcelain.
		Stilt grass readily invades disturbed shaded areas, like floodplains that are prone to natural scouring, and areas subject to mowing, tilling and other soil-disturbing activities including white-tailed deer traffic.
		Japanese stilt grass appears to be associated with moist, acidic to neutral soils that are high in nitrogen.
