Hi all, I walked the fields across from Dyce Lab looking for Vesper Sparrows. I didn't see or hear any, but it was very windy. I did flush 8, invisible, WILSON'S SNIPE. They were directly across from Dyce Lab at the north edge of the bare field. Four of them flew north and I didn't see if they circled back, but the other four just moved farther up the field. Even as I followed them in my bins they were almost impossible to see once they landed. Their camouflage is almost perfect for this field.
