I do think we get Snipe, but I haven't personally seen any. We have a national Whooping Crane project that we are a part of here. They winter every year in the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge which is along the central Texas coastline. So if you see the Whoopers flying overhead, they stayed down here for the winter! I think there is also a small population that they are working to establish in southern Florida, but it hasn't been as successful, at least not yet.<BR/><BR/>I will post more about the whoopers on my blog.........ADVENTURES IN NATUREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01614184312484638113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501037207349700259.post-59897104844211947952008-08-21T10:42:00.000-07:002008-08-21T10:42:00.000-07:00Exotic birds, for us northern mountain dwellers.Ou...Exotic birds, for us northern mountain dwellers.<BR/><BR/>Our ecosystems share some migrating species (in addition to human tourists!)--in the winter, do you see snipe or sandhill cranes?<BR/><BR/>What other species connect our diverse environments?EcoRoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07294159049375690786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501037207349700259.post-54677809774484541852008-08-03T11:06:00.000-07:002008-08-03T11:06:00.000-07:00Thanks Max!

There could be opportunities for contract work here with spotted owls, marbled murrelets, or snowy plovers. It is prety competitive here, however, which is why my work is out-of-state.Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18037151652023799197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501037207349700259.post-27838932082977829922008-07-17T15:18:00.000-07:002008-07-17T15:18:00.000-07:00They are so beautiful, pictures really can't do th...They are so beautiful, pictures really can't do them justice, but thanks anyway to both of you!ADVENTURES IN NATUREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01614184312484638113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501037207349700259.post-7795502157995106212008-07-16T19:30:00.000-07:002008-07-16T19:30:00.000-07:00I never saw so many in one spot in my life!
