Ah John, there really is a water bird called a snipe: We shoot them down here. Up north they used to think they were an imaginary bird that they used to play a game on with people by taking them on a snipe hunt at night. But, anyway. I think dude needs to stay in Florida, I don't think he would last very long in Pencilvainya.
