About These Birds
Latham's Snipe
Latham's Snipe: 29–33 cm, large robustly built Japanese snipe that breeds in wet grassland and marshes of central Honshu; migrates to wet grassland and irrigated paddocks of eastern Australia. NT. One of Australia's few regular Japanese migrants. Probes soft ground for invertebrates. Declining due to grassland loss at both ends of migration.
American Woodcock
American Woodcock: 25–31 cm, rotund crepuscular wader with cryptic dead-leaf plumage, large eyes set high on the head, and an extremely long flexible bill for probing earthworms. Inhabits moist woodland and shrubby margins in eastern North America; winters in southern US. Famous for spiralling courtship 'sky dance.' Migratory.
