Something to snipe about at Ken Caryl Valley, JeffCo

[David Suddjian]

Sorry for the bad puns...

Last night toward midnight, and then again this evening begging after sunset I've had a Wilson's Snipe winnowing right by home. Massey Draw here has wet grasslands (now partly flooded) and some cattail wetland. Tonight he is really going at it, as he has been winnowing more or less non stop for the past 2 hours. What a delightful sound to have in the home soundscape! I hope he attracts a mate.

Last spring I had just one daytime sighting of a Wilson's in the same area, but there was no winnowing.
