The Burchell's courser (''Cursorius rufus'') is a wader in the pratincole and courser family, Glareolidae. The name of this bird commemorates the English naturalist William John Burchell. Although classed as waders, these are birds of dry open country, preferably semi-desert, where they typically hunt their insect prey by running on the ground. This is a small bird that lives in the western parts of southern Africa. It feeds off of insects and seeds and lives in open, short grasslands and burnt veld. It grows to eight or nine inches in height. ==References== *Animal, Smithsonian Institution, 2005 *sabirdstamps.com 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Burchell's courser」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
