About These Birds
Pin-tailed Snipe
Pin-tailed Snipe: 25–27 cm, medium snipe with very narrow outer tail feathers (hence 'pin-tailed') and buffy wingbar. Breeds on Siberian wet meadow and boggy tundra; migrates to winter on marshes and rice paddies of South and Southeast Asia. Probes soft mud for invertebrates. Long-distance migrant. Difficult to distinguish from Swinhoe's in field.
Giant Snipe
Giant Snipe: 36–40 cm, the world's largest snipe with an exceptionally long bill, rich brown plumage, and heavily barred underparts. Resident in swampy grassland and marshy terrain of Venezuela, Trinidad, Colombia, Brazil, and adjacent South America. Feeds on invertebrates by deep probing. Secretive and crepuscular. Poorly known.
