Tringa
Sign in to saveTringa is a genus of waders, containing the shanks and tattlers. The genus name Tringa is the Neo-Latin name given to the green sandpiper by the Italian naturalist Ulisse Aldrovandi in 1599. 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 and the solitary sandpiper—nest in trees, using the old nests of other birds, usually

Rotschenkel Dunkler Wasserläufer Großer Gelbschenkel Die Wasserläufer (Tringa) sind eine Gattung aus der Familie der Schnepfenvögel. Die Wasserläufer-Arten sind insbesondere im Schlichtkleid einander sehr ähnlich. Die meisten verfügen jedoch über sehr typische und auffällige Rufe, an denen sie gut zu bestimmen sind. Nach Untersuchungen der mitochondrialen DNA ist auch der Schlammtreter – bisher in die monotypische Gattung Catoptrophorus gestellt – in diese Gattung einzugliedern. Diese nordamerikanische Art ist etwa so groß wie eine Pfuhlschnepfe und damit größer als alle anderen Arten der Gattung.[1] Wasserläufer fressen Land- und Süßwasserinsekten, kleine Krebstiere, Würmer und Mollusken. Bei einigen Arten gehören auch kleine Fischchen und Kaulquappen zum Nahrungsspektrum. Ihre Nahrung finden sie überwiegend im Flachwasser. Der Grünschenkel und der Dunkle Wasserläufer suchen Nahrung auch noch in verhältnismäßig tiefem Wasser. Dies ist möglich, weil insbesondere beim Dunklen Wasserläufer die Nasenlöcher des relativ langen und dünnen Schnabels sehr hoch angesetzt sind. Unter den Wasserläufern finden sich sowohl Bodenbrüter als auch solche Arten, die in Baumnestern brüten. Der Waldwa

Tringa is a genus of waders, containing the shanks and tattlers. The genus name Tringa is the Neo-Latin name given to the green sandpiper by the Italian naturalist Ulisse Aldrovandi in 1599. 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 and the solitary sandpiper—nest in trees, using the old nests of other birds, usually thrushes.
The willet and the tattlers have been found to belong in Tringa; these genus changes were formally adopted by the American Ornithologists' Union in 2006.
