Has I said a few months ago pay attention to your bags in the US, because in Europe some Wilson's snipes where already shot, maybe the same can happen with Common snipe in America.

Thanks for that bit of info on the Pintail. That is a great photo! Thank you very much for sharing it with us.

I hope it grows strong....and bypass a certain area in Florida when it migrates.

The weather is so much better here during September and October...

This is the second chick for 2009 (the one I found yesterday)

The first it was from the same clutch so they were similar.

SS I don't have pictures from Great Snipe...About the Pintail snipe, apparently both male and female may share the chicks care. For Swinhoe's I dont have any information, but soon I find... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (trataruga) http://thesnipehuntersforum.yuku.com/sreply/16570 Sun, 07 Jun 2009 14:59:38 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: First Snipe 2009 ]]> http://thesnipehuntersforum.yuku.com/reply/16557/t/First-Snipe-2009.html#reply-16557
It would be nice to see some photos of the Great Snipe! The snipe we get here are the Pintail, Swinhoe's and Common. Last season, the only snipe I identified was the Pintail. To my regret, I was not able to personally identify the other two...actually, I forgot to look at all the snipe in the stringer. Next season I will do so. I would really appreciate the data on the Pintail and Swinhoe's. Thanks so much.

The observations are being done at the Azores.
Today I found another chick, probably from the same clutch, but from the male's part of the brood.
And... I found my first snipe nest (ever), I don't know how much will take to hatch but I'll monitor it, it has 4 eggs.
About other snipe species behaviour I don't know. Snipes are difficult to study, most of the works are on Common snipe and Great Snipe. As I work only with Common snipe I know... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (trataruga) http://thesnipehuntersforum.yuku.com/sreply/16555 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 14:19:06 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: First Snipe 2009 ]]> http://thesnipehuntersforum.yuku.com/reply/16549/t/First-Snipe-2009.html#reply-16549
Great to hear from you! Do all the snipe species divide their brood this way? I guess this is what the saying "Don't put all your eggs (in this case chicks) in one basket" means. Where are you doing your observations? Thank you very much for updating us. As Irish Snipe said, everyone here wishes the snipe well. Great work.

I look for the chick by walking and flushing the adult. Usually you find one adult with 2 chicks, because the snipe couple divide the clutch when hatching (2 for the male and 2 for de female) and the couple "brothers" never see each again.

The behaviour of the adults is very important when looking for the chick, as well as some signs and track in the soil.

I don't use the pointing dog... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (trataruga) http://thesnipehuntersforum.yuku.com/sreply/16548 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 18:29:40 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: First Snipe 2009 ]]> http://thesnipehuntersforum.yuku.com/reply/16547/t/First-Snipe-2009.html#reply-16547 ]]> feeds@yuku.com (patf) http://thesnipehuntersforum.yuku.com/sreply/16547 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 17:48:19 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: First Snipe 2009 ]]> http://thesnipehuntersforum.yuku.com/reply/16545/t/First-Snipe-2009.html#reply-16545 How do you find them, pointing dogs, walk and look or watching for the mother bird?

Well done anyway! image

Today I found my first snipe for this year! A 5 days (or less) chick ;)
I hope tomorrow I'll find a few more... That's my "Snipe hunting".
