As a newcomer to the study of wetland birds, I was surprised to find the Latham’s Snipe page of Simpson and Day had no Painted Snipe. Further investigation showed Latham’s are grouped under Scolopacidae while Painted are in Rostratulidae. This is confusing. Is it not time for a petition or competition to rectify this silly situation?
