What is it with birds and hopeless searches? :P I think snipes are pretty closely related to Woodcocks (or at least, they're on the same page in my field guide), and I think I've read about both of them that they are able to move the tips of their beaks independently of the rest. (Which is totally cool.)

For a long time I never knew that Snipes really existed, since, when I was a kid, to lead someone on a "Snipe Hunt" was to cruelly lose them in the woods. That beautiful photo of the egret is spectacular.Jacqueline Donnellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390548854179921303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3902702129791011785.post-39111748075832260372012-04-11T23:38:43.140-07:002012-04-11T23:38:43.140-07:00Morning E

But also love woodlands, esp at this time of year. There's just too much to see! MelFlorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14553928946281653917noreply@blogger.com
