Figure 3.26. Foraging microhabitats (entire stippled area) of shorebirds for sandflats and 

 mudflats. Areas where birds foraged were defined by water depth and depth to which birds probed 

 the sediments; dense stippling indicates where species spent more than 80% of their time foraging; 

 sample sizes are in brackets. Reprinted from Boland (1981) with permission.
