> Were your ears burning today?  You were being much maligned as we stood

> here, I`ve never seen one."  Just then, I looked up - " look at those
> birds, look how long those bills are. Why, those birds, they`re, My God,
> they`re SNIPE"  Time to eat proverbial crow after seeing these dozen fly
> over, most probably flushed by a Harrier that was hunting.  Was going to
> send this over OSPREY, but my mail is not going through to it for some
> reason.  Anyone else have this problem, what can I do?  Leslie
