Mary Ellen watched a pair of Wilson's snipes along some fast moving water at Millennium Park in West Roxbury today:

short tail
She's touring the facility.
And based on the video ...
She's picking up slack.
With feathers that shine like justice
And a chirp that is dark like tinted glass
Snipe Hunts
Fill in the blank here.
I don't get it; If snipes are
I don't get it; If snipes are real why is a "Snipe Hunt" considered going on a wild goose chase?
Do they taste terrible or something? Squab is delicious even if they are baby sky rats. They look about the same size as squab. Are they like impossible to catch?
No, that's not it
Snipes are supposed to be very hard to hunt, requiring extraordinary skill.
That's why the military began referring to exceptionally good marksmen as "snipers".
"I'll allow it." Cool
"I'll allow it." Cool explanation @necturus!
I had to look
For several seconds before I saw the bird.
Yeah
When I looked at it on my phone, I could not make out a bird at all. It looked like a pile of bones from an Alien movie. Even on my computer, it took a while to see a bird.
No more Citibanks here, though
At which to meet accidentally. Probably doesn't need to borrow a pen, either.
Plenty of smooth liquidation
Plenty of smooth liquidation available.
