Wader

Waders are birds that wade in littoral waters. They are called shorebirds in North America (where "wader" is used to refer to long-legged wading birds such as storks and herons). Waders are members of the order Charadriiformes, which includes gulls, auks and their allies. The usual purpose of their wading is foraging for food (such as insects or crustaceans) in the mud or sand.
