Yesterday, I flushed a snipe from the kacky ditch at the corner of
the cyclone fence near the blackbird feeder. It seemed small, flushed
silently and flew, low to the ground to an area behind the kack that is
inaccessible.
This is my third encounter with a snipe that makes me go hmmm in the
last twenty years or so. It's unlikely that I will be able to re-find
this bird, but it is snipe migration season and worth a heads-up to
would-be snipe hunters.
