Wilson's Snipe (Gallinago delicata)Observer
rholmes925Description
strong metatarsal registering, probing holes extensive, no partial webbing showing. Snipe? I initially thought yellowlegs because I believe their tracks are more common in this area, but now thinking snipe is a better match

Seems large for spotted sandpiper and small for yellowlegs. Tracks measuring about 1 and 1/8 inches. Webbing present between toes 3 and 4. I believe hallux is present and registering occasionally. Poor photos of suspected bird in photos 2 and 3. Bird was walking / stepping slowly through shallow water.
