Oh my goodness, a camping game we used to play as kids was to go "snipe hunting." It was a joke played on new-to-camping friends akin to sending a new construction worker to get a left-handed-monkey wrench or a sky-hook. They don't exist. But...I see the snipe does. Great picture by the way! Nice closeup.
