Usually all you see of a snipe, if you see anything at all is like the first picture. I was very fortunate to capture this Wilson’s snipe in the open for a very short time before it blasted away.

On the 2nd shot, is that the same bird ? The face seems familiar.

Yes, it’s the same bird. Usually the bird is completely hidden.

Bothe images are great, but in the open is better.

Thanks to all for your comments. I appreciate them all. I was a pro photographer for 48 years then retired, but only got into wildlife in the past 4 or 5 years. It’s been a real challenge.

Bet you never found any snipes either, did you?

Mom, bless her departed soul, told stories of being put in the back of a milk delivery truck and taken out into the back woods in Ohio for a snioe hunt. In the dark. On her wedding night! That was in ~1940.

So I always thought that snipes werebimaginary creatures until this very day.
