The family Scolopacidae, commonly known as sandpipers, includes a variety of wading birds found in both freshwater and saltwater habitats. These birds are characterized by their long legs, slender bodies, and elongated bills, which they use to probe for invertebrates in mud and sand. Scolopacidae species are often seen along shorelines, marshes, and wetlands. Members of the Scolopacidae family exhibit diverse behaviors and migratory patterns. Some species, like the Western Sandpiper, travel thousands of miles during migration, while others may remain in their breeding grounds year-round. Their adaptability to different environments makes them an important part of many ecosystems.
