Since they are often "frozen" still in "don't detect me" mode , it is always enjoyable to see them just carrying on "being snipe". Moreso if there are more of them.

 

 

Wilson's Snipe WISN (Gallinago delicate)

Mallard MALL (Anas platyrhynchos)

This species is not known for their gatherings mostly because they are so cryptically shy & camouflaged

 

This location was a stake out for a local rarity a Black Phoebe...which i did not see on this occasion but the snipe obs were great

 

Also--

Quickest way to "find" a helicopter is to try to do a video or audio clip..?

what's with that?!?
