If you are like me, you’ve never seen one. They don’t exist you know. At least that’s what I grew up believing. My older cousins once took me out “snipe hunting” when I was in grade school. After that, I KNEW they didn’t exist.
Well, today I actually SAW one! Deanne and I went out picture taking in the snow and ice today, and I decided to take her over to the place where I saw the Red-tailed Hawk and the Killdeer.
There it was… a type of bird that I was not familiar with — long thin beak, striped body, white belly, and brownish tail feathers. After shooting a few pics, we went over to my parents where we got some cocoa and had a look at their bird book. There it was… a Wilson’s Snipe. The DO exist after all!
