About These Birds

White-bellied Seedsnipe

White-bellied Seedsnipe: 26–29 cm, large seedsnipe with white underparts and cryptic brown-streaked upperparts. Resident on Patagonian steppe, Falkland Islands, and windswept coasts of Tierra del Fuego and Cape Horn archipelago. Feeds on seeds, leaves, and plant material. Sedentary. Highly camouflaged; flushes explosively when disturbed.

Least Seedsnipe

Least Seedsnipe: 16–18 cm, smallest seedsnipe resembling a miniature quail. Males have a grey head with black gorget; females cryptically streaked. Inhabits arid coastal and Andean steppe from Ecuador south to Tierra del Fuego. Feeds on seeds and plant material. Locally nomadic. Cryptic plumage aids camouflage on stony ground.
