Soo...no snipe yesterday. Not too surprising.
But we did have a bald eagle fly past us as we were gathered together, before the class actually started.
Also added a third "life bird" to my list, the least sandpiper, smallest sandpiper in N. America (at 4.75 inches long). There were about ten of them probing around in a shallow river, and they were amusing because a greater yellowlegs, a much larger shorebird, was feeding near them, and when we started getting closer to the bunch, the yellowlegs flew away shrieking while the tiny sandpipers just continued probing (and probably thinking, "Geez, what's that guy's problem?").
