    I just got back from a walk to the beach and found one of the snipes =
dead at the end of my driveway. It had been struck by a car. It is now =
in a baggie in my freezer. If you know of anyone who would like to =
confirm its identity or would like it for archival reasons please let me =
know. Still haven't located the second one again.

carefully with my binoculars and guide that is what they were.Their =
chests were heavily streaked and the tip of the tail had the rusty red, =
There were very bold stripes on the heads. I was busy about the house =

again, one had gone and about an hour later the second one had left. I =

      Fawne, forgive my questioning, but a lawn sounds to me more like =
the migration habitat for woodcocks rather than snipes.  Can you just =
confirm for me that they were not woodcocks?  Thanks very much.  I =
report sightings from NatureNS of shorebirds to the Can. Wildlife =
