Field Notes

Description:

It is a medium-sized shorebird. These birds forage in shallow water, sometimes using their bill to stir up the water. They mainly eat insects, small fish and crustaceans.

Habitat:

Their breeding habitat is clearings near ponds. They nest on the ground, usually in open dry locations.

Notes:

Photos are cropped because I only had my macro 100mm (I was waiting to see a lot of insects, but saw nothing)
