My week off at the end of September was marred by strong SW winds so my trip to the coast was unproductive to say the least. Every other week before and after have had perfect conditions for them and other scarcities. I have heard their calls a couple of times before but couldn't see them.One bogey I've gotten rid of is jack snipe (at last) even though there was a place about half a mile from home that has been good for them. Now it is being heavily developed and the ponds have been drained to make way for more business units to stand empty like most of the others that have been there for years.</blockquote>
