BOTD: Wilson's Snipe

Photo: Becky Matsubara

"Often overlooked in migration and winter, the snipe is a solitary creature of wet fields and bogs, seldom seen on open mudflats. Flushed from the marsh, it darts away in zigzag flight, uttering harsh notes. The Wilson's Snipe becomes more flamboyant in the breeding season, when it often yammers from atop a fencepost or dead tree. At night on the nesting grounds, the ghostly winnowing flight sound of the males often echoes across the marshes."

So mad that i couldn't get a photo of this but i saw this thang today! It's very rare where I live, I'm very happy about it!

FUCK YEAH

side note: i have a feeling the second clip is of some kind of snipe rather than of the American Woodcock.

note the stripes on the head and how they are roughly parallel to the bird's bill, with a thick darker stripe down the middle. the woodcock has a tan patch that extends from the start of its bill to above its eyes. after the end of this patch are horizontal stripes of white and dark brown

the stripe pattern shown more closely resembles a jack snipe (Lymnocryptes minimus), common snipe (Gallinago gallinago), or Wilson's snipe (Gallinago delicata - this was recognized as a suspecies of G. gallinago [common snipe] until 2003, as G. gallinago delicata). my guess is either a common snipe or Wilson's snipe, based in part on the color - the stripes appear white-ish, not yellow/orange

also the specific name ("delicata") for Wilson's snipe means "dainty" hehe
