Observation details
*Rare. Was identified at the time as a Wilson's Snipe because I thought the adult I flushed just before the young one was a WISN, but has never sat entirely well with me. Looking at the photos now (2019) I really don't know what to make of it. Comments for Wilson's Snipe were formerly: "First breeding record for the Pribilofs! Juvenile bird flushed with still fluffy head, rounded wingtips, brachial (?) vein showing in flight. Photos. Adult bird flushed just before."
