    This morning in Heather Farm Park, Fred Safier, Ann-Charlotte Stenberg and I
    saw 4 Wilson's Snipe together at the corner of the drainage ditch at the
    extreme north end of the park, located in Walnut Creek.  This ditch drains
    the large natural pond; the water eventually joins the creek.  The corner is
    just south of the wooden-decked footbridge over the Contra Costa Canal.  One
    Snipe, and sometimes two, have been seen at this corner or in the mostly
    drained Canal on and off for about two months.  Seeing 4 together was quite
    a moment for us.
