Interestingly, 7 Wilson's Snipes exhibited the rear-bobbing behavior at Clear Spring Ranch (El Paso Cty) a few weeks ago. I hadn't seen that before. And yes, they probe while bobbing.

While birding at South platte park, a bird that had been identified as a snipe by another Birder was watched. He had the exact gate of the Woodcock with His rump obbing up-and-down continuously. He was going using his beak probe the soil. Do snipes also have this type of walking behavior?
We were across the river and I didn't have my scope. We have pictures on a camera that we need to download to a computer before I can share it.
I'll send a location if anyone feels like this would be a Woodcock instead of a snipe.
