The Willet is a tall, wading bird that loves to be near the water. With its long legs and long beak, it searches for tasty snacks like crabs and worms in the sand.

生息地: Coastal areas

外見

The Willet is a large, grayish shorebird with long bluish-gray legs and a straight, thick bill. Its most striking feature, seen in flight, is a broad white stripe bordered by black on its wings. This pattern makes them visually distinct from other plain gray shorebirds.

おもしろい事実

The Willet's loud call sounds so much like "pill-will-willet" that it's how they got their name!

There are two types of Willets, Eastern and Western, and they even sound a little different!

These clever birds often build nests in tall grass, making it super hard for predators to find their eggs.

Willet chicks can leave the nest and find their own food almost immediately after hatching!
