Richmond, next to Garry Point (at almost the trailhead of West Dyke Trail) Wetland/marsh

We just walked in a little bit. This bird flew up with a short strange voice.
Very bad quality pix....

You are correct, that is a Wilson's Snipe. Nice capture.

doesn't need to be a good quality pic for ID purposes, this has clear enough details to tell what it is and its flying (even harder to get a pic)! good job!
