This was one of many moments during the morning that will long be remembered. Each time a bird would get too close to the feeding bird it would defend its territory. Occasionally they would just face off for awhile and separate without doing battle.
Who is Wilson you might ask. Alexander Wilson was a birder in the late 1700's prior to Audubon whose name is associated with several shorebird species. A large flock of snipe is hanging around Crex. Technical info: about 1/500 and +1 compensation to show full wing detail because of the bright water, moderate cropping.
