Of course they are mostly not singing. Here are  some pictures of a Wilson’s Snipe in Amish farm country north of Utica NY.  Also a Red-tailed Hawk in the same area.   Dave

I wrote: Memories are a good reason to take photographs. Three years ago I had the opportunity to travel to the house I was born in and take this photograph. It is an image I saw each of my first 7,300 days on earth! – well, each season it was a little different.
