Snipes

Hey guys,
Today Karah and I decided to do a quick trip over to Church Road and see what shore birds might be hanging out. It has been pretty dry here and the water is slowly receding on the reservoir creating more habitat for the shore birds and I was hoping these passing rain storms might ground some migratories. We found  5 snipe, two pairs of woodies, gadwalls, black ducks, GBH, Mute swans, barn/broad-winged/tree swallows, and a flock of 8 blue winged teals that flew in as we were about to leave. Ellis and Henry ran about 20 laps around the car while Karah and I watched the birds with a few other local birders. Good evening. Hope you guys are enjoying some birds.
