WILSON SNIPe
Capella delicata
July 9 Uniat Alaska
We heard it give a peculiar flight cry
In the evening, apparently it gives a hoosy, squeak
owl-like note with its wings high up in the air
July 10 I took a D, apparently it jumped off the nest &
gave broken wing act. The plumage was very
dark from the oil smoke from a fire nearby.
