About These Birds
Puna Snipe
Puna Snipe: 26–28 cm, medium snipe of high Andean wetlands and boggy grassland from Peru south to northwestern Argentina and Chile at 3,000–5,000 m. Cryptic streaked brown plumage. Probes soft ground for worms and invertebrates. Sedentary high-altitude resident. Displays with tail-fanning 'drumming' flight over bogs.
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.
