I suppose I should be concerned about my property level of WET as a Wilson?s Snipe has taken up residence at my house nearly as I can tell. He?s been seen every day since Thursday. My 10 year old was the first one to spot him. He likes my front lawn right outside my living room window. We are really enjoying watching him/her. Can open up the window and talk and he doesn?t fly, just keeps pecking away or sitting quietly. Here?s a few of my pictures. http://rainydame.xanga.com/769812282/my-strange-winter-visitor/. I also took a video...you can hear how hard it was raining in it so the quality isn?t great. But I enjoyed it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPhISLF7HA0 How often do they show up in yards? This is the first time we?ve ever seen one here, though I have to say it was so camoflauged I?m not sure we would have if my daughter hadn?t almost stepped on it and flushed it the first day.
