MelissaStoddardVaughn Thanks, This bird was quite far away and amidst dried straw hich was great camouflage for it and aquatic vegetation...it was a difficult job to get a decent-enough shot for an ID. First time I have seen a Snipe.
What a beautiful bird! You are fortunate to have made this capture.
