The Family Scolopacidae comprises a diverse group of shorebirds, including sandpipers, curlews, godwits, and snipes. These birds are generally medium-sized, with long bills and legs adapted for probing mud, sand, and shallow water for invertebrates such as insects, worms, and crustaceans. Many species are migratory, traveling long distances between breeding and wintering grounds. Scolopacids exhibit a variety of feeding strategies and habitats, from tidal flats and wetlands to grasslands, and play important ecological roles in controlling invertebrate populations and serving as indicators of wetland health.
