There were 7 Wilson's Snipe in the wet fields to the right of the entrance gate to Sotterley Plantation on Saturday night @7:30. They all flushed at once as I approached, but once I backed off, they stopped circling overhead and dropped back into the same wet patch. If you want to check to see if they are hanging around, park at the entrance gate, walk to the right. Look for the rain fed puddle just beyond the cattle fence.Then walk towards the adjacent marshy area on the Sotterley side of the fence. They were in there. Good birding. David
