Found a group of these at the refuge today - SW Washington state. I'm assuming some sort of piper but the beak looks really odd. This shot is cropped quite a bit as they were rather camera shy.

Great shot, finding one out in the open like that. Thanks, they are skittish. These both are severe crops from my 7D, shot with a 70-200/2.8 w/2x extender at the full 400mm. And they aren't a big bird either. Dave

SJCfromVT Cream of the Crop  More info | Mar 14, 2014 05:42 | #8 It was the Snipe that got me into bird photography. The bird I had was on my lawn in November with no water nearby. I was told he was a Common or Wilson's Snipe. Here is the link to one of my Flickr shots...http://flic.kr/p/dwd7Ev *Sandy* "If we all had positive attitudes...we could change the world"
