Magellanic Snipe

Gallinago magellanica

Least Concern

The Magellanic Snipe is a shorebird of South American coasts, grasslands, and wetlands. It uses its bill, legs, and alert flight to feed on invertebrates, seeds, or small aquatic prey along coasts, mudflats, rivers, lakes, grasslands, or open ground; many shorebirds make impressive seasonal movements between breeding and non-breeding areas.
