Wilson's Snipe

Wilson's Snipe
Didn't see what I had hoped to see on a quick drive south east of the city yesterday late afternoon, but I did come across this Wilson's Snipe perched on a fence post. Love to see these birds and their beautiful feather pattern. It's been a rainy morning, but hopefully the day will brighten up.

""For a short while this species was lumped with other similar birds, collectively called Common Snipe. DNA evidence showed that the populations did not interbreed, so its original name was restored. The breeding range of the Wilson's Snipe includes most of mainland Canada and the adjoining USA."
