Wilson's Snipe

This is a new bird for me. They tend to stay on the outside of the reeds and are quite skittish. It looks amazingly like the long-billed dowitcher photo from Arizona posted a few days ago. The only difference is the coloration of the wings, it appears. The real die-hard birders love those little details!

great discovery and good shot peeking through the reeds steve.
it's such a good feeling to find and shoot a bird you've never seen before.
