	Wader - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Waders, called Shorebirds in North America (where "wader" is used to refer to long-legged wading birds such as storks and herons), are members of the order Charadriiformes, excluding the more marine web-footed seabird groups.
		The latter are the skuas (Stercoraracidae), gulls (Laridae), terns (Sternidae), skimmers (Rhynchopidae), sheathbill (Chionididae) and auks (Alcidae).
		This leaves about 210 species, most of which are associated with wetland or coastal environments.
