Leggy wader is a term used to describe a type of bird that is characterized by its long legs and wading habits. The three most common examples of leggy waders are the CRANE, HERON, and IBIS. The CRANE is a large, long-legged bird with a long neck and a bill that curves downward. The HERON is a long-legged wading bird with a long neck and a straight bill. The IBIS is a medium-sized wading bird with a long, curved bill and a long neck. All three of these birds are found in wetlands and shallow water habitats.
