Winnows of Wilson's snipe. It is great fun to follow a snipe high overhead as he circles about, from one swooping dive to the next, seemingly intent on stitching heaven to earth. Once airborne, how long does he remain aloft, and how many display dives does he complete?Does he have favorite places to dive? Is there any effort to coordinate his display dive with those of a neighbor? So many questions, but as yet no answers.
