From Hank Golet: 04/26/10 - Portland, Portland Fair Grounds -- 12 WILSON'S SNIPE. I'm sure there were more Snipe but the grass is high enough so they cannot be seen. Most of the birds that I saw got up in front of me as I walked around the wet area on the right that is just past the buildings. I also kicked up a few on the other side of the dirt drive.
