Thanks for the correct ID.  My daughter just saw it sitting in the parking lot. Hope it is safe in all of this snow. Unusual?

SNIPE! What a nice find!! 
 I was expecting more birds at my feeders because of the snow, but a Mocker has decided he owns the suet, mixed seed and mealworms.  Not even a woodpecker was allowed to feed.  Tomorrow there will be a new arrangement of the feeders! 
Stay warm and keep your power!

I agree on Snipe, and it is a great bird to see in winter. Hope he comes a couple miles farther east along Cane Creek so we can add him to the NC Bird Atlas priority block that is centered on Fairview (Oteen SE). Somebody tell him my yard has muddy pond edges and wet woods.

Hi guys- great photo but it looks more like a Wilson's Snipe. Still a great sighting
