A Snipes Bill
Took this one for detail of that impressive bill. You probably figured out that they use it to probe deep in the mud for food. But did you know that the tip of the bill is flexible & can open just enough to grab food while leaving the base of the bill closed? This lets them slurp down food without having to take their bill out of the mud.
