		I know that great snipe have barred bellies and breasts, but with no firsthand experience of the species, don't really know how obvious this would be in flight.

	Lymnocryptes minimus
		The Jack Snipe is an extremely difficult bird to see, partly because they are not very common but mostly because they are so well-camouflaged they will often sit unnoticed and let you walk past them.
		In that brief glimpse you must judge their size and shape (smaller than a Snipe with a shorter bill, shorter tail and shorter wings) and their plumage with more strikingly golden stripes but a minimal pale trailing edge to the wing.
		If you know where a Jack Snipe is sitting you should get exceptional views, good enough to see the short bill and tail, the longer more contrasting golden back stripes and the different head pattern with an extra fl stripe across the eyebrow and with fl stripes meeting at the ear coverts.

		snipe was photographed near Fort Worth, Texas in late October, 2001:
		There is an excellent comparative photo by Arnoud Van den Berg in an issue of DUTCH BIRDING showing the spread wing of media compared to gallinago (and also how the tail of media can appear to lack white), but I cannot find the issue right now.
		In the same area soon after taking the above photo, I flushed a flock of snipe to use up the film on flight shots, and got this image; I cannot claim know if bird C is the same as the one in the top image - but it was with the same group of birds.

	William Lewin's Birds of Great Britain
		The first edition of his Birds of Great Britain, begun in 1789, was a remarkable undertaking, as it contained 323 original watercolor illustrations (271 birds, 52 eggs), each of which he painted sixty times over for his subscribers.
		The demand for Lewin's fine work from Birds of Great Britain, combined with the limits imposed by his having done its plates all by watercolor, led him in 1793 to begin a second edition of etched plates, allowing for relatively more copies to be published.
		Lewin, who was reaching the end of his life, was joined in this project by his three talented sons, all of whose work is credited individually on the separate plates.
