Today’s featured bird is the black-necked stilt, a delicate little waterbird with extremely long legs that’s famous for its popcorn.The black-necked stilt (Himantopus mexicanus) is known as the cigüeñela cuellinegro or soldadito in Spanish. I prefer soldadito , which translates to little soldier for two reasons. First, these birds do in fact resemble little soldiers in black and white uniforms standing tall at attention. Second, cigüeñela cuellinegro look like two words that I have very little chance of pronouncing correctly successively without looking at them spelled out and pronouncing them weirdly slow. The black-necked stilt is a small-bodied wading bird that is dwarfed by many of the larger storks and herons it shares its habitat with. What makes it stand out are the two incredibly long red legs that its little body is perched on. Perfectly suited for wading through shallow water, the black-necked stilts legs are the second longest in proportion to their bodies of any bird, e...

A four-decade-old moratorium on commercial whaling will remain in force after a proposal to overturn it was withdrawn Thursday at a meeting of the International Whaling Commission ( IWC ) in Peru’s capital Lima. Another proposal to declare whaling a source of global food security was also abandoned in a plenary session after failing to gain consensus among delegates from 60 countries. “We are relieved that the dark and dangerous resolution to resume commercial whaling has been withdrawn,” said Grettel Delgadillo, Latin America representative for Humane Society International (HSI). The first proposal was submitted by Antigua and Barbuda, which is not a whaling nation but has said it would pursue the matter at the next IWC meeting in Australia in 2026. Delgadillo said pro-whaling stances by countries that do not consume whale meat “demonstrates how Japan continues to influence the IWC despite not being a member anymore.” The food security proposal, in turn, was submitted by a host of A...
