Auks, gulls, plovers, sandpipers, and terns
first appeared in the Upper Cretaceous and currently are distributed worldwide
reaching the lengths of 13 to 76cm. They are grouped in three basic
body plans: Suborder: Alcae--dense-plumaged, web-footed, marine, wing-propelled
divers, feeding on fish or invertebrates. Suborder: Charadrii--waders
(shorebirds), usually feeding on small animals in mud or water, bill variable
but often long and used for probing; Suborder: Lari--web-footed, dense-plumaged
water birds feeding by plunging into water for fish, robbing other birds, or
scavenging.
