What is a wader?
We are based in the UK so what we refer to as waders may be more often called shorebirds where you are; to us they are one and the same thing. In order to avoid confusion however these are the birds that we are referring to; the Charadrii:
jacanas, painted-snipes, Crab Plover, oystercatchers, Ibisbill, stilts and avocets, stone-curlews and thick-knees, Egyptian Plover, pratincoles and coursers, plovers, Magellanic Plover, snipes, sandpipers,and phalaropes, Plains Wanderer, seedsnipes, sheathbills.
This list follows IOC except where alternative species name in is brackets.

Hi... I know a good place to see Black-necked Stilts and American Avocets. It's called Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge. You can also see the rare Snowy Plover (which I haven't seen before there).
ReplyDeleteIn fact, here's a list:
http://www.fws.gov/southwest/refuges/oklahoma/saltplains/birds.html
It's just a suggestion... you could go to Texas or Costa Rica.
Thanks from an Okie,
~Mich
Oh whoops, I meant Piping Plover...

Hi Michelle. Thanks for the tip. However on this trip we will not be touching down in Oklahoma, but we should see all those species in FL and CA with any luck. Thanks for thinking of us. Cheers. Rick and Elis.
ReplyDeleteSure thing. You're welcome. You're always welcome to my state. Florida is cool too!

Thanks Michelle, you never know what the year and beyond may bring. Thanks for your support. Rick and Elis.
