Both Birdfreak and The Drinking Bird have posts up with thoughts about snipe hunts, and they claim that snipe exist! Oh, wait, what, snipe do exist? Why do so many things people learn about birds have to be false?

Wow, talk about coincidence.
Tis the season for Snipe hunts I guess.
Don’t forget this, erm, “classic” E,W&W post from 2006:

@Nate: Great minds and whatnot, right?
@tai haku: I think your description of that post is extremely accurate, “erm” and all. 😉
I forgot to mention; my traffic meter tells me that that post attracts a disproportionate number of clicks suggesting (to me at least) a lot of bewildered snipe hunters googling away for answers!
