Sneaky snipe

While at the Canon City Riverwalk this morning I caught a glimpse of a bird about 25 feet away fly a short distance that apparently flushed at my presence--ah, yes, a Wilson's Snipe. I inadvertently flushed it again while I took a few photos--not because I got too close as I actually moved slightly further away (and slowly) as I tried to get a clear shot of the bird. Apparently it wouldn't tolerate my being able to see it without the foliage that provided it with some cover. SeEtta
