	Aves - Thinocoridae
		The seedsnipes are a poorly know avian group from the Andes Mountains and Patagonia in South America.
		Seedsnipes appear to be the only year-round, strictly vegetarian shorebirds, feeding on seeds, succulent leaves, flowers, and some berries.
		Seedsnipes have short extremities, perhaps another adaptation for surviving in their cold habitats.

	White-bellied seedsnipe - AVESCHILENAS enlaRed (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Northwards of its distribution zone is joined with the scarce for that zone Rufous-bellied seedsnipe (Attagis gayi gayi) being able to differentiates by its white abdomen to difference of the pale to dark cinnamon abdomen of the A.
		It frequents cordilleran steppe environments, high and solitary plains with peat-bogs and grass mixed with zones without vegetation, seeking protection and shelter of the strong winds between the rocks or small shrubs.
		In breeding time, they go in pairs; but in winter they are joined in flocks of 15 or more birds, to travel through all the day the hills in search of seeds and fruits.

	Aves - Thinocoridae (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Nine to eleven subspecies of seedsnipe are recognized based on plumage characters and morphology.
		This species may be found sympatrically with its congener, least seedsnipe, but the two species segregate by micro-habitat, least seedsnipe preferring more arid and grassy areas.
		Due to the cryptic plumage and habits of thinocorids, the bold tie of a male least seedsnipe, perched on a stone, may be the only way of detecting their presence in an arid landscape.

	Rufous-bellied Seedsnipe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is found in the high Andes at up to 4000 m, although it can occur as low as 2000 m in the south of its range.
		Rufous-bellied Seedsnipe, when on the ground, looks superficially like a partridge in structure and bill shape.
		The nominate race which breeds in Chile and Patagonia has scalloped pale rufous underparts, and reddish brown upperparts, with much barring.

	Lower case "s" in English name "Painted-Snipe" (Nycticryphes) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The compound word is a three syllable noun and causes no problems to pronunciation, thus does not fall in the exception to "Rule 1".
		The current name used is further wholly inconsistent with the name "Seedsnipe" (used essentially without exception for the Thinocoridae).
		Although not four syllables long, it could be argued that "Paintedsnipe" is more unwieldy than "Seedsnipe".

	Bird Tours Peru - Arequipa A1 - Tanager Tours - Arequipa, Peru
		In the late afternoon we'll leave this wonderful but threatened patch of montane forest and drive to Sandia for the night.
		We'll make an early start from Sandia and bird our way to Puno, looking for thistletails (we've recorded them, but which species they are is so far unknown), hummingbirds, finches and seedsnipe en route.
		At this high altitude salt lake there are also different species of Ground-tyrants, Cordilleran Canastero, Grey-breasted Seedsnipe and Golden-spotted Ground-doves.

	Trip Report Jan Vermeulen
		For the last two years there has been nearly no rain in the Arequipa area and the flamingoes are gone.
		Crested Ducks and Andean Geese are still there in small numbers and an area flooded by a small stream held Grey-breasted Seedsnipe, Cordilleran Canastero, Taczanowski´s and Ochre-naped Ground-Tyrants and Andean Negrito.
		But the road was ugly, it would take a lot of extra time and none of these were birds were lifers for them.

	Aves - Thinocoridae
		Steve Lougheed, and Vicki Friesen), and the Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales 'Bernadino Rivadavia' in Buenos Aires, Argentina (Pablo Tubaro), have been involved in a study of Thinocoridae.
		The objectives of this collaboration are to improve our knowledge of the natural history, behaviour, and evolutionary history of seedsnipes.
		Apparently we are at the boundary between wintering grounds and breeding grounds for least seedsnipe at Dos Posos, Chubut.

	Milloc-Marcopomacocha
		The area is home to the enigmatic Diademed Sandpiper-Plover as well as the threatened endemic White-bellied Cinclodes, although this species seems to be disappearing from this site and is more easily found at the nearby Ticlio Pass.
		With a 4WD vehicle, it is possibly to enter a remote valley where Rufous-bellied Seedsnipe or even Puna Tinamou can be found.
		White-winged Diuca-Finches are common, and Olivaceous Thornbills are frequently seen engaged in their curious feeding habits, while Andean Condors are regular overhead.
