Field Notes

Description:

The food seeking Himantopus melanurus slowly moved between the big rocks at the Atlantic shore moving its beak from one place to the other while digging it in the water. They were on a small invertebrades quest.

Habitat:

These birds can be found around América and in particular all around Uruguay, specially near fresh or salty natural water sources.
