Wading birds

89 species

Wading birds forage along shorelines and mudflats searching for small aquatic prey crawling or burrowing in the mud and sand. These birds live in wet, coastal environments and spend much of their time near bodies of water. Many of them have long legs adapted for wading and long bills to detect prey.
