Date: February 12, 2006
Location: Wakodahatchee Wetlands - Delray Beach, Florida
Country: United States

Comments: This species is often quite wary and well hidden in vegetation. I was taking photographs of other birds when I suddenly spotted the camouflaged snipe that was practically at my feet. I was able to take a few photographs before it melted away into some aquatic vegetation.
