[TN-Bird] snipe displays

Tuesday 29 Mar 2005 at Joachim Bible Refuge Unit of Lick Creek Bottoms Wildlife 
Management Area in Greene Co., TN I heard the sounds of both displaying 
American Woodcocks and Wilson's Snipe.  I heard the "winnowing" of snipe there 
last Spring also.  This is the only place I have ever heard the sound of the 
snipe flight display.  I read that it is usually heard over their breeding 
grounds up north, but also sometimes during migration.  I am curious to know 
how frequently the snipe flight display is heard in Tennessee.  Any other lucky 
listeners out there?
