Snipe Hunting

I can remember as a teenager the fad was to go snipe hunting, since we never saw a snipe and probably didn't even know that they really existed I was surprised to here that Wilson's Snipes were seen north of the East View Christian Church in Normal or is that Bloomington. I Googled Wilson's Snipe and sure enough they exist and a picture was available. Early this morning I went back out to see if I could get a few pictures as the pictures taken last night near dusk were pretty poor.

These are Wilson's Snipes taken with the sun to my back.







This is a Wilson's Snipe taken facing the sun.
