Wilson’s Snipe

What a kick to discover a Wilson’s Snipe (Gallinago delicata) here!

This one showed up for a bit of a rest on November 4th on its migration south. Wilson’s Snipes spend their breeding season in northern North America and winter through the southern US, south through Central America and on to Venezuela.
