African Snipe
African Snipe: 25–28 cm, medium-large snipe resident in high-altitude wetlands, bogs, and marshy grassland of eastern and southern Africa from Ethiopia and Sudan to the Cape. Cryptic brown-and-buff streaking. Probes soft mud for invertebrates. Sedentary. Performs display 'drumming' flights with spread tail in breeding season.
Long-billed Dowitcher
Long-billed Dowitcher: 27–30 cm, medium-sized shorebird with a very long straight bill and bold white supercilium. Breeds on wet Arctic tundra of Alaska, Yukon, and northeastern Siberia; winters on freshwater and coastal marshes from the southern US to Guatemala. Feeds by rapid sewing-machine probing. Largely freshwater in winter.
