I was in Charles City near Shirley watching a muskrat in the canal.
As the muskrat went into the weeds, I caught a glimpse of something
yellow and finally saw that it was a bird/duck. It looked like a
shorebird of some kind...almost colored like a snipe, but it has a
duck type bill. Any idea what this is?
Sorry for the horrible pics, but it was buried deep up in there.....

Also, if you are interested, I got the muskrat to give me a special
showing last week...he came right up toward me within about 6 feet.
Pics are here:

Thanks for any help ID'ing this one.
Barbara
