Common Snipe II Women's V-Neck

Local ranchers call the Snipes �Rain Birds� because of the sound made by their tail feathers as they are diving straight down following a high accent searching insects during the day and night. They often lay close the the ground where they nest and lay quietly unless flushed. They are not often seen with their camouflaged color unless sitting on a fence post. I enjoy listening to them in the spring when they often make their whoo-shing noise flying at remarkable speeds both ascending and diving.

I am semi retired at this time .My Dad gave me my first camera, a brownie, at the age of 7 in 1953 after applying my talents with crayons on the walls of my hallway and creating fantastic sculptures in a sand box starting at the age of 3 as I recall. I loved life as an artist, but teachers disagreed to my chagrin. So I ended up spending much of my life as an engineer in different trades and practices. Today I apply most of my efforts towards photography and photoshop making pictures, and placing them in a variety of galleries in my web sites offering prints and home product for all to enjoy viewing at no cost.
