I was up in the Upper Valley yesterday to visit friends in the evening, and was already planning to visit Lake Runnemeade when I saw Peggy's email (below) in the morning. So it is with a certain sense of coincidental amazement that I can report that the bird she saw is indeed a WILSON'S SNIPE. I flushed if from behind the large beaver lodge along the Lake Trail, when I slipped on the trail and must have made a little noise. It called once and flew north, but I didn't see it farther along the trail or on my way back. Seems like a good enough place for it to continue to hang if anyone else is lucky enough to stumble upon it.
Not much else of note here or elsewhere, although 2 Red Crossbills continue at Marsh-Billings in Woodstock. They were in the vicinity of the trail parking along Prosper Road.
Enjoy,

I was on the Lake Trail (back of second pond) at Runnemede around 5PM. I didn't have my binoculars, but spotted some type of shorebird poking around in the frozen mud. Wilson's Snipe, perhaps? Also saw 2 male common mergansers, a pair of hoodies & a couple of robins.
