Wilson's Snipe Mini Documentary
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 гру 2021
- The mythical Snipe of the childhood "snipe hunt" challenge is actually a real bird. This fascinating bird is a winter visitor to Florida and makes a haunting winnowing sound with its tail feathers while flying in a downward swooping motion to defend territory and attract a mate on summer breeding grounds far to the north.

Loveliest sound!
Had one in my backyard yesterday (Auburn Washington). Took me a while to find out what it was. Amazing creature.
Thank you 🎉
Wow, I never knew, as a kid, camping and going Snipe hunting in the dark, lots of fun though, thanks for sharing
EEP - EEP - E-E-P! They have a very distinctive and fairly loud vocalization when they flush like a 60 mph bullet shot out of corkscrewed barrel . . . brings back memories. Note - close relative . . . Woodcocks and snipes belong to the same family, Scolopacidae: the sandpipers and relatives. But the American woodcock (Scolopax minor) and Wilson's snipe (Gallinago delicata) aren't identical. They're cousins whose differences you can see up close.
Thought I saw a timberdoodle yesterday but it was a snipe!
Watching from here....
Beautiful channel
Thank you for sharing....👍
These mini documentaries are great! Thank you for putting this together for us. Cute little bird and fun to watch! The alligators were neat to see too!😊
Thanks for this! Wow, I didn't know it was a real bird! I have 3 older brothers so, yeah, I've been snipe hunting. There I was holding the sack on the footpath, darkness closing in....actually the rest is a bit fuzzy but I'm pretty sure I caught a glimpse of them running toward home over on the other side of the pond and figured it out. lol
I love the mourning dove intro, best bird call of them all
That is an eerie sound!
saw my first snipe ( in our neighborhood), 3 weeks ago in my backyard ,on the edge of the small lake--, got several great pics-got within 4 feet before he took off in their low zigzag pattern- lovely small bird
Lovely! Thank you!
Thanks I hear these noises in the field and some nice guys with cameras told me about them
Thanks for your video it helps too
We have them in Challis, Idaho. We only hear them in the evenings & usually when the fields initially flood with irrigation. Sometimes they’re along the river when it’s really warm.
I went snipe hunting quite often with young ladies when I was a teenager.
The snipes were not meant to be found.
I'm from Finland, where we have other species of snipes. But during the last weeks, the unusually warm weather and western winds have brought a number of American feathered visitors to our shores. Wilson's Snipe has been spotted, along with American Black Duck, Black Scoter, Dark-Eyed Junco (the first one ever observed in Finland) and Ross's Goose. As you maybe know, Finland joined NATO one year ago - did Washington send these winged emissaries overseas to show us that America is not that far away, after all? If that's the case, I'd like to see some Blue Jays and Roadrunners, too!
Blue Jays maybe, but that's a long way for a road runner to run!
@@MyBackyardBirding Perhaps the roadie could get an airlift on the back of a Bald Eagle, or a California Condor! Beep-beep!
