Text Appearing After Image:
Plate XVI : A jack snipe, male. (\ size.) the ground everywhere is hard, and theycannot use their soft bills for their daily food.They become mere skeletons if the (frost isprolonged and the wind adverse for migration. i MID-APRIL 57 The plumage of both species is much aUke,though the feathers of the jack have thebrighter hues. The back and wings arebarred and mottled grey, brown, and black,with a touch of yellow here and there, theunder part of the body being whitish. Theirwhole appearance is like that of the Wood-cock, which bird is, however, quite fourtimes larger and chiefly a rich brown incolour. The eye in all these birds is a beau-tiful and marked feature, set high and wellback in their rounded heads. The snipehave rich markings of yellowish-brown overthe eyes, and stripes of the same colour arefound on the back of the body. Many fullsnipe remain in the British Isles all the yearround and breed, and these are generallyfound always in the same spot, but by farthe greater number
