Also known as the sandpipers

Scolopacidae is a large family of shorebirds, or waders, which mainly includes many species known as sandpipers, but also others such as woodcocks, curlews, and snipes. Most of these species eat small invertebrates picked out of the mud or soil. There is no evidence that different lengths of bills enable multiple species to feed in the same habitat, particularly on the coast, without direct competition for food. On sandy beaches, species with different bill lengths feed on the only abundant invertebrate, such as mole crabs Emerita.

OverviewAI-generated

Scolopacidae is a family of birds within the order Charadriiformes, class Aves, and phylum Chordata. The taxon was described by Vigors in 1825 and holds an accepted status in biological classification. Members of this family are commonly known as sandpipers.

The family inhabits marine, brackish, and freshwater environments. Records of Scolopacidae have been documented in the United States, Papua New Guinea, Australia, the Netherlands, and Belgium. These records are held by institutions including CM, UTEP, ANWC, UCMP, and RBINS-SCIENTIFIC HERITAGE.

The taxon has a significant presence in biological databases, with over 62 million occurrences recorded. It is referenced by 923 other encyclopedia articles.

Scolopacidae is a large family of shorebirds, or waders, which mainly includes many species known as sandpipers, but also others such as woodcocks, curlews, and snipes. Most of these species eat small invertebrates picked out of the mud or soil. There is no evidence that different lengths of bills enable multiple species to feed in the same habitat, particularly on the coast, without direct competition for food. On sandy beaches, species with different bill lengths feed on the only abundant invertebrate, such as mole crabs Emerita.

Sandpipers have long bodies and legs, and narrow wings. Most species have a narrow bill, but the form and length are variable. They are small to medium-sized birds, measuring in length. The bills are sensitive, allowing the birds to feel the mud and sand as they probe for food. They generally have dull plumage, with cryptic brown, grey, or streaked patterns, although some display brighter colours during the breeding season.
