Wilson’s Snipe
Gallinago delicata
The Wilson’s Snipe (until 2003 it was called the Common Snipe) breeds over much of northern USA and to the Arctic tundra. The ‘winnowing’ sounds made during flight is memorable to hear. Though not a vocalization, it is wind over the tail feathers that causes this sound.
