A couple of Wilson's Snipe foraging in agriculture ditch
22:22I have an area in Canon City that Wilson's Snipe find good for foraging. I was surprised recently to watch one of them 'bouncing' up and down on it's legs repeatedly as it foraged not too different than the foraging behavior of American Woodcocks. I checked Birds of North America online which indicated this was done, "apparently to startle prey into moving." Top pic is darker as it was overcast while sunny for bottom pics. SeEtta
