	snipe
		A relative of the woodcock, snipe are birds of wetlands and most shoots that have a quantity of rushes within its boundary is certain to have a population present at some time during the shooting season.
		In many parts of the country, the traditional method of snipe shooting is walking up a snipe bog with retrievers at heel and the guns flushing the resident snipe as they make their way across the bog.
		When shot, snipe will often bury into cover at the base of rush or bracken and with their body giving off very little scent, they can be difficult for even the best retrievers to scent.

		Plumages.--The young snipe in its dark and richly-colored natal down is one of the handsomest of the young waders.
		Snipe usually lie closely crouched on the ground trusting to their excellent protective coloration, and do not flush until nearly trodden upon; so that in their hurry to get away their flight is erratic.
		The 'scape' of the snipe has sufficient resemblance to the woodcock's 'peent,' which forms a part of the nuptial performance of that species, to leave little doubt that the two are homologous (that is, of the same derivation), if we assume the snipe and woodcock to be related.
