About These Birds

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.

Hudsonian Whimbrel

Hudsonian Whimbrel: 40–46 cm, recently split from Eurasian Whimbrel; breeds in subarctic North America. Similar to Eurasian Whimbrel but with a darker rump and slightly different call. Winters along both American coasts south to southern South America. Feeds on mudflat invertebrates and berries on migration. Long-distance migrant.
