The Shorebirds (Charadriiformes)A truly global bird order
• High Arctic (gulls & terns / måsfåglar & tärnor)• Antarctic (sheathbills & skuas / slidnäbbar & labbar)• Seashore (e.g. many sandpipers & plovers / snäppor & pipare)• High mountains (Ibisbill, & seedsnipes / ibisnäbb & frösnäppor)• Exclusively marine (auks / alkor)• Steppes and savannahs (buttonquails & coursers / springhöns & vadarsvalor)
Ivory Gull (jomilo75) Snowy Sheathbill (D. Jensen) Golden Plover (B. Tørrissen)

Scolopaci:• Contains familiar groups of shorebirds
E.g. curlews, redshanks & allies, snipes & woodcocks & the sandpipers• Many exhibit extreme migratory behavior• Often flocks contain several species
Isolated in summerbreeding localities (highArctic or temperate zones)
Overwinter in flocks (shores of Africa, Australasia &
South America)
