TRINGA
Tringa
Tringa is a genus of waders, containing the shanks and tattlers. They are mainly freshwater birds, often with brightly coloured legs as reflected in the English names of six species, as well as the specific names of two of these and the Green Sandpiper. They are typically associated with northern hemisphere temperate regions for breeding. Some of this group — notably the Green Sandpiper — nest in trees, using the old nests of other birds, usually thrushes.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Tringa
