Proudly crafted by American Artists. After casting, each piece is hand finished and polished for a beautiful antique look. Satisfaction Guarantee! The genus name is Latin for a snipe or woodcock, and until around 1800 was used to refer to a variety of waders. Also called bogsucker, mudbat, Timber-doodle or timber rocket. Related to the sandpipers, but strikingly different in habits. This rotund, short-legged bird hides in forest thickets by day, where it uses its long bill to probe in damp soil for earthworms. Its eyes are set far back on its head, allowing it to watch for danger even with its bill buried in the dirt.
