Today, en route to dropping my son at a playdate, we enjoyed close
views of a Wilson's snipe by a rain pool off Beach Drive. This rain
pool sits just south of Beach Drive's intersection with East-West
Highway. The bird and the pool stood just beyond the goal of the
first soccer field on the left as you head south. As a jogger passed,
the bird hunkered down, disappearing in plain sight until she passed.
Then the bird stuck up its head again.
