| Wilson's Snipe hiding in the reeds |
Because of the old prank of taking someone on a snipe hunt, many people do not believe a snipe is a real bird. Well, this afternoon I found a Wilson's Snipe that was indeed, very real. As you can see in the photo above, you do sometimes have to hunt in order to find a snipe because they are very good at hiding in vegetation. Wilson's Snipes are common shorebirds throughout most of North America. Next time you are out in a marsh, go on a snipe hunt and see if you can find some of these interesting creatures.
