Temminick's Stint

Temminick's Stint

A timber finch with yellow-green legs.

Characteristics

A small snipe like the Tounen.

The back of the body is brown and the belly is white. The beak is black and there is a white eye ring around the eye.

The yellow to yellow-green legs are what distinguish it from the Tonen.

Ecology

It visits wetlands, rice fields, rivers, etc. as a migratory bird along with the Tounen.

It preys on insects, annelids, and other animal matter near water.

Habitat

Tama River midstream

I photographed an individual that flew to the Tama River midstream in autumn. Together with another Red-streaked Greyhound, it was wandering around the shallows, foraging.

It wasn't in a group, but seemed to be alone. It didn't seem to be very wary of humans.
